"I signed up to a six week course with Luke for comedy, it was arguably one of the most interesting and fun experiences I’ve had so far. Luke went above and beyond in every single aspect, he has now given me the platform and confidence to stand in front of strangers and try to make them laugh. The course was so easy going and Luke was a fantastic mentor. Highly recommended 10 out of 10." - Alan Artek
