Thanks to Logan I am 37% funnier. Logan's
course does not cover writing testimonials, so I'm a bit lost really. Logan
creates a relaxed and fun atmosphere for you to bare your most vile and
small-minded views of the world and try to turn them into jokes. Go on
Logan's writing course. They'll be some actresses on it probably and some of
them are fit as f**k. Go on Logan's writing course. If you're not a
Cambridge graduate, black, female, Canadian or an addict of some kind,
you'll need all the help you can get to break into the world of comedy. For
me, going into comedy without going on Logan's course would have been like
riding into the battle of Waterloo on the back of an arthritic mule, armed
only with a baguette. I went on Logan's course and it paid for itself just
three short years!
Having been on Logan's course I am now a
better person. I didn't think that was possible. I had absolutely no idea
how to take a microphone off the stand but Logan made it look easy. His hair
is incredible. James Branch,
comedian.

"I was just starting to write
comedy when I joined Logan's Amused Moose Course. Coming from an acting
background, I was incredibly nervous about performing my own writing,
something which I had only dabbled with at Uni and had never done solo.
Logan, from the first session, instantly set me and the rest of the course
at ease. His modest and gentle manner made us all relax enough to put the
best foot forward. His knowledge and experience of Comedy meant we got
fantastic general advice and coaching, he also has a wonderful nack of
bringing out every individual's particular comic strengths. By the end of
the course I had written half of my first Edinburgh show and also performed
'standup' in front of a room full of strangers, something I never thought
that I would do.
Since then Logan has guided me through the
terrifying/nervous-breakdown-ensuing experience that is 'the first Edinburgh
show'. I had no idea what I was doing and without Logan's direction,
patience and inspiration, I would not have made it to opening night. I have
subsequently got 4* reviews for both my Edinburgh shows and I have no doubt
whatsoever that a huge part of that is due to Logan who helped me make them
the slickest, best shows that they could be.
As a comedy mentor, director, and general fountain of knowledge I cannot
recommend Logan enough!"

“Logan Murray
changed my life! That sounds really dramatic, but it’s true! Logan’s
teaching methods are 2nd to none. He brings out the comedian in
you without even trying. It’s not a “do this, do that” from of teaching, he
see’s what you are about, understands it and encourages the showman within
you to surface and flourish. Within 6 months of attending Logan’s course, I
become a full time professional comedian working the UK and international.
That certainly would not of been possible if it hadn’t of been for this
wonderful man" -

“Not only is Logan a brilliant stand up in
his own right but he also has that rare talent of actually being able to
teach comedy and bring out the best in a student. He is generous, encouraging and
passionate about what he does. I really can't recommend Logan Murray highly enough.” -

Logan is such a good teacher and mentor. ok he is funny too. What I was very
pleased with was his professional approach combined with knowledge, patience
and objectivity whenever he gives feedback without ever making me feel
uncomfortable. Davide Bonomi, comedian

Logan is a legend. He talks about what he knows and he knows what he's
talking about -

I
hadn't acted or done comedy at all before doing Logan's course but Logan's
improv. games really brought me out of my shell and allowed me to break free
from the 'posh Katy Bagshaw' - she works in the City you know', I portrayed
to the world. Now I get to act like a drunken moron all the time and I
haven't got two shillings to rub together - I feel so free. Yesterday I
jumped in front of a car - my, how we laughed!

- You always know
when a new comedian has been on a Logan Murray course - they are as equipped
with knowledge on how the business works, as they are confident and funny.
He encourages performers find their own voice rather than falling in the
trap of copying a well known performer's comedy style - Claire Stroud,

I arrived
on Logan's course in the Autumn of 2005 with very little confidence and an
absolute fear of being on stage - within a year, I was not
only gigging all over the country, and preparing for my
first Edinburgh show but running my own comedy clubs under the umbrella of
'Comic
Angels', one of which won an award. All this would not have been possible
without Logan's encouragement support and belief in me. Within the
comedy world, Logan Murray is a living legend , he is truly
loved and
respected by all his students past and present....look at any of the big
names on the circuit and the chances are they started their
comedy
careers on one of Logan Murray’s courses....anyone who has any interest in
comedy and is thinking of doing a course, please forget all
the others,
get
taught by the best. This man is our comedy guru, long may he rule! We salute
you and thank you for all you have given us Mr Murray! You so rock! - Sajeela Kershi, comedian and promoter.

The course was a fantastic experience.
Logan's unwavering positivity and support was inspirational in unlocking
talent - even the most terrified students produced moments of comedy gold.
A roller-coaster journey which takes the fear out of stand-up, then puts it
back again. Exhilarating - Emma Reeves, comedian.

Ask any
comic on the circuit who has been taught by Logan Murray and their face
will light up, compliments and praises will spill out of their mouths...it is a rare man who as an accomplished and
established
comedian in his own right can then leave his ego at the door of the classes
he teaches...he gives so freely and generously to his
students, never
judging, always encouraging and bringing out the best
performer in
everyone who passes through his courses.

Dec 2005: Discovered the course on Google:
My thoughts. Surely you can't possibly be
taught how to be funny? Jan 2006 : Course start date when waiting
nervously in turn to introduce myself:
How will I cope? What if forget my name? Everyone will stare
at me? All will laugh at me!
April 2006: London Comedy Store.
My name is Chris Mousicos, I coped with
400 people staring and laughing at me.......say no more.

Logan's course is fun, accessible and a
brilliant introduction to the art of stand-up comedy. It's full of practical
advice that I didn't find in other books about stand-up comedy. Most of the
books on stand-up focus on the American scene whereas this is very much
about the British circuit. As a teacher, Logan is supportive, down-to-earth
and full of helpful comedy tips. If you follow Logan's advice, you'll be
performing stand-up comedy in no time. Sean McKenna, comedian.
