DBA Flappers University

At DBA Flappers University, we see comedy as a blend of talent and technique. We teach joke structure and comedy fundamentals, fostering personal authenticity and creativity in a supportive environment. Whether you're a working comedian or just want to have fun, we help you find your path to humor.

About DBA Flappers University

We believe that comedy is truly an art-form, a combination of raw talent and technique. Talent can be lost without technique, so we first teach joke structure and the basic language of comedy. We also believe that what makes a great comedian is being personal and authentic and, perhaps, a rule-breaker, so we provide a safe and fun environment where you can be just that: authentic, inspired and successful. Whether you are already a working comedian or looking to make it your profession, or simply need help with that next presentation or just want to come and have fun, we can help you find the path to funny.

    The class was good. Biggest complaint would be there wasn’t enough time but that was sort of expected with it only being a 3 hour workshop . This was a sampler and it served its purpose.

    We started with the basics of holding a microphone, which was actually helpful. learned how to outline jokes, and had time to write ourselves. bring a notebook. Everyone was a beginner and the teacher made everyone feel comfortable.

    Joanie Coyote was wonderful and insightful. She gave me some of the best and most useful notes I've ever received from a director or teacher. She never put me down and never poked fun of any of us. She's a pro and you can feel it when she talks to you. She empathizes with how vulnerable we are up there and made us all feel like we really could/can do this seemingly impossible task of "getting up and doing 5 minutes". Oh, and she taught me how to write a joke.... And a whole bunch of other stuff you need to know before you step on that stage. I loved the class and I think Ms. Coyote is exceptional.
