Johnny Carson, arguably the King of Late Night TV said, "If you can write funny consistently, you will ALWAYS work... the amount of money will vary, but you will ALWAYS work..."
Comedian/Author/Writer/Teacher
Jerry Corley has over 30 years experience in comedy writing and stand-up and it wasn't his first choice of professions. He started doing stand-up at 25 and learned that there was a skill-set behind writing jokes. "I hired two comedy writing coaches and trained with them every week for nearly 20 months. Then got hired to write for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Where I wrote 80 to 120 jokes per day."
After leaving the Tonight Show he toured all over the World as a stand-up, co-wrote the story and executive produced a major motion picture called Stretch, starring some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
"Jerry is not only hysterically funny himself, he's got a real gift for breaking down the craft of comedy and teaching it. I never thought I'd be able to write so many jokes!"
