I've been on stage plenty, but never for stand up comedy before taking this course.
I was going to give this only 3 stars, but went with 4 because the course is a good introduction to the business end of stand up comedy.
This course is a wonderful intro to stand up comedy and public speaking in general.

writing jokes
i would say if you can get past the lack of detail in writing jokes and understand everything in this course you will definitely get some laughs, like i said this was a fun course and i can't wait to get onstage and get some laughs :) This has been on my Queue for a very long time now.
The first chapters dedicated to the jokes structure are very comprehensive and applicable to the real world, if it's your first time and you are a funny person you will be writing jokes very fast.
That would give more clarity into the process of writing jokes.
