American Comedy Institute

At the American Comedy Institute, we offer people training to persue comedy professionally or simply as something they love and want to learn how to do well.

Making a career of comedy comes down to two things: Get Good and Get Seen. We provide our students with opportunities to do both. They perform at major clubs such as Gotham Comedy Club and Stand-Up New York. The One-Year Professional Program culminates in a showcase at Gotham Comedy Club attended by talent agents, managers and casting directors."

Stephen Rosenfield's students have made devlopment deals with CBS, ABC, Fox, Paramount, the Henson Co. and Tribune Entertainment to star in their own sitcoms.
He has produced, written and directed comedy shows at Gotham Comedy Club, Stand-Up New York, The Comic Strip, Gotham, PSNBC, The Improv, The Duplex and Don't Tell Mama.
