~Judy Carter

"Shannon has the rare ability to discover the funny within any situation. Her style of coaching is so effortless that even after our first session, I had several pages of killer material. She is a master at the art of comedy and a great collaborator. Having worked with other coaches before, I can honestly say that Shannon is the best!"

“Shannon, you’ve created a monster…! I had the time of my life on stage last night – the jokes you wrote for my master of ceremonies speech had all 800 people in the audience rolling in the aisles!
You were my first mentor ever. You did for me what I've been doing for others my entire life. I can’t wait to work with you again!”

“Shannon really understood where I was coming from with my style of comedy and helped work my material to fit my persona. When it came time to get on stage, I used all the jokes we jammed on.... and I absolutely killed ‘em. I ended up taking 1st place vote for crowd favorite - Shannon kicks ass!”
~Matt Jordan

"Shannon Gettins is a stand up comedy coach and mentor. She does not have a cookie-cutter approach to uncovering brilliant material for you to use in your routines; she helps you mine your life stories to see the humor where you didn't think humor existed. Go ahead, my friend, and take that leap into the world of stand up. Shannon will be there to support you as you decide how far you want to go!"

"Not only does Shannon have an incredible way of understanding exactly what I am trying express, but she is a ton of fun to work with! She helps me find "the funny" in my ideas and shows me how to deliver it in a hilarious way. I know for a fact that I would not have been able to put together an act without her!"

"Shannon is a JOY to work with I could not ask for a better Comedy Coach for me. Shannon's creativity is off the charts! She always has her game face on ready to go."
Rob Antus
Standup Comic

"Shannon is an outstanding comedy coach whose wit and comedic talent helped me fine tune my act and augment my punch lines to get even more laughs from my material. I will definitely set up more private comedy coaching with her the next time I have a major gig coming up or really any time I feel like my act just needs a little something more. A private coaching session with Shannon is great even in addition to the class because the individualized attention to the small details of my act made all the difference when I got onstage!"
Deanna Knudsen

CORPORATE COMIC:

"Shannon Gettins was an excellent emcee for our event, the Elite Meetings Alliance. Upon first meeting Shannon, I was impressed with her professionalism and enthusiasm about the event and within the first few minutes of our meeting, she had already made me laugh!

Shannon did an amazing job of monitoring the flow of the event. Not only was she able to easily keep order of the event and announce valuable information, she did it with her unique comedic style. She continually had something appropriate and funny to add to anything we needed her to communicate. I would recommend Shannon to anyone wishing to have a successful event!
