Coaching & Co-Writing
I work one-to-one with comedians and writers at all levels — from first-timers to experienced acts who want to sharpen their material or develop a show.
Whether you need help finding your voice, writing stronger jokes, preparing for a gig, or a collaborator on a longer project, I can help.
"Nick knew exactly how to punch up my jokes to make them shine. I put together a really nice 5-minute set — and now I have 15 gigs lined up for the next month."
