Pay What You Can Comedy Lessons
Hello! I'm Joe Pettis - a stand-up comic and show producer who has recently started offing PAY WHAT YOU CAN comedy lessons. These are 40 minute lessons done over Zoom - that way it can be done anytime anywhere!
Whether you want to develop as a comic or producer, I can help. Need to punch up some jokes? I gotcha! Wanna build up the courage to get on stage for the first time? I can help with that! Want some insight on how to produce a successful comedy show? I can do that too! Whether you are looking to improve your material or learn more about stand-up comedy, I'm happy to help.
So what makes me qualified to teach comedy? A little about myself:
I have been performing since 2008. I regularly headline shows across North America. In 2023, I recorded my debut comedy album the 40 Watt Club.
As the founder of 1UP Comedy, I produced over a 1000 shows throughout Georgia. My shows featured some of the biggest names in comedy (Shane Gillis, Ron White, Iliza Shlesinger, David Cross, and so many more). Rolling Stone listed my shows among the "5 Cool Things to Discover in Atlanta." Since 2011, I've hosted the world's longest running brewery comedy show at SweetWater Brewing Company
My television appearances include Adult Swim's Daytime Fighting League and Discovery's Six Degrees with Mike Rowe. I'm a regular on Doug Benson's podcast, Doug Loves Movies. I have performed at over 30 festivals, including the Nashville Comedy Fest, Laughing Skull Comedy Fest, Charleston Comedy Fest, SweetWater 420 Fest, Southern Fried Gaming Expo, and more.
With almost 20 year experience, I have insight on all aspects of comedy and would love to help you develop!
But don't just take my word for it...
Feedback From My Students
“Joe has been an amazing resource. I reached out to Joe after a couple of open mics. He has provided great input on the business of comedy, my stage presence, structure of my jokes, the overall set cadence. This has been a great resource and although nothing replaces stage time feedback from a pro that knows what comedy is accelerated my learning significantly."

"Joe is patient, insightful, and genuinely funny. From structure to delivery, he’s been incredibly helpful every step of the way."
- Andy D (Berlin, Germany)
