You helped a ton. The DVD taping show I had at the Parlor was proof. I sold it out, standing room only . . . they were turning people away at the door and I performed like I never have before, had my own personal break through. Now I not only am going to have a kick ass 45 minute DVD but I’ve got a whole new confidence and most of that is due to your help. Not just from that Wednesday but over the past year knowing you. If you EVER doubt your influence on helping people, don’t. Your advice and example has really given me a new lease on life. For the first time I can remember I feel in control and positive about my future.

Kyle,
I can’t thank you enough for this last weekend. I know how you felt about bringing comedy to the city that brought laughter to you, but you did so much more my friend. Every man and women in that Boot Camp has something better then money, power and fame. For the first time, they believe in themselves, and that is a blank check, a ticket to the red carpet and all the power they could imagine. But nothing compares to Self Actualization. Thank you again my friend. I will be at your call whenever your need anything I can offer. You helped me to believe. I hope you know, beyond jokes and fame, Kyle, you are one of the great souls I have ever met. Thank you.

-Your Friend and Fan

Kyle,
I am a close friend of Jimmy Shaw’s. The things he has learned from Bootcamp are invaluable. Not only is he a positive thinker, he’s proactive about his life. He has inspired me to do the same with my life not only through sharing videos and quotes with me, but by actually doing it! I’ve known him for years and this past year, I have seen him set a goal and reach it. Not a wish, or a hope but an attainable, measurable goal! I know he has you to thank for that, and now so do I!

What you are doing is changing people’s lives. It has such a dramatic effect on people, it is contagious. You are absolutely right when you tell people to surround themselves with positive, energetic people. I have learned what is most important is not making sure other people see potential in you, but knowing the potential you have inside yourself. I cannot wait to make things happen in my life instead of letting them happen! Thank you again and keep up the great work!

Sincerely,
-Ariana Armada-Casino

Just finished the 2 day Kyle Cease & Louie Anderson Stand-Up Boot Camp class. Day 1 was from 8-5 and today was SUPPOSED to be from 10-8, but ran from 10-1:30AM, with 1 break for lunch! As crazy as this sounds, I was ready for another 12 hours. That’s why I’m writing this at 3:10AM because of how passionate I feel about this whole experience. Even if you’re not a comic, if you want to improve in whatever you’re doing, whether you’re a musician, a customer service rep., a mechanic, whatever you’re doing or whatever you want to do, I truly feel stand-up boot camp will provide you the tools to achieve your goals if you’re willing to put action to what you learn.

For any of the doubters, ask any person that’s done the camp. Anyone! I guarantee you will not find one person that has actually done this Stand-Up Boot Camp that will tell you “nah don’t do it” or “it’s not worth it” or “you can figure it out on your own” etc… You may hear that from people who haven’t done it, but I guarantee you won’t hear it from anyone who has done it.

After the first hour I felt I had already got my money’s worth from the seminar. You can’t put a price tag on your dreams or goals and you’re getting the tools and knowledge to get those dreams if you’re willing to apply what you learn from boot camp.

I just finished the 2 day class and I’m already signing up for the August class, THAT’S how adamant I am in my belief this will help me in achieving my goals.

I obviously can not recommend this enough to anyone and everyone that I know. I don’t care what you do, where you are in life, or where you want to go in life, there is something in this seminar you will learn from and be able to apply to make a life altering change.

The Boot Camp was what I thought it would be and more. The really cool part is that even though it went long last night, it still isn’t over. The students are going to have connections, networking, and friendships for life as well as the ability and motivation to share with others the gift we received. Comedy should not be a competition, it should be a community.

This class is an absolute must for anyone who wants to improve their life. As a result, your comedy will improve, your relationships will improve, and the people around you will become better or they will be left behind.

Kyle Cease, Louie Anderson, The Parlor Live in Bellevue, Kevin Cease, all of the other staff, and especially all of the other comics made this a wonderful, valuable experience that everyone should take advantage of.

-Cory Michaelis

I heard of people talking smack about camp (none of which went) and I just felt sorry for them. You can’t grow in negativity. At Boot Camp you’re in a room surrounded by people who are hungry to grow and legends who want you to… is there really anything cooler than that?

-Jen Seaman

Same here! I love the reality that when positivity and creativity come together with hope. That is the biggest thing i learned plus i didn’t realize my peers were needing the same focus.

-Amos Mack

Just an update of things going on since Boot Camp. You have completely changed my life and I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for me. My everyday outlook is completely different and people have told me that they have noticed an incredible change in who I am. I remember telling you that I felt like I was going backwards @ day two and felt like I was a bit foggy. You responded that it was like a fishtank when you cleaned it and it would start clearing up for me and everything would become crystal clear. Well my friend it seems to be getting to that point now and getting clearer every day. I have never felt more comfortable in life which has helped me become a much better comedian. I had my best set ever two weeks ago and was asked to do a charity event last Saturday. Me, charity? I am having f’n amazing time and can’t thank you enough.

-Roy Brewster

Gentlemen, I would like to thank you ALL! and give you a little update on what just happened with me.

I told Kyle at Boot Camp that I was booked to do my first “real” show at a theater in NE Minneapolis, opening for Matt Braunger.

I was shitting bricks after my showcase didn’t go so well. But after some insight from Kyle about how to be “real with myself” and a good talk with Kevin over a cigarette on how I can improve by relaxing and slowing down, I must say that I absolutely killed it! I had probably about 100 people there for me between the two shows, and that added some pressure. But hey, I had a draw right?

Not only that, but I made sure that Matt was comfortable and taken care of, I did the things that you all talked about, making sure it was his show and what not.

I just figured that I’d let you both know that you’ve given me an insane amount of insight that is just starting to seep into my brain after being bombarded with information from you guys.

Thank you all again! And I hope we cross paths again!

Sincerely,
Kyle Johnson

I wanted to reach out and let you know an interesting observation I had this week. I realized, not since the start of Stand-Up Boot Camp have I felt the paralyzing anxiety that used to really dominate my days. There’s a host of reasons, I’m sure. I’ve been putting in the work to shift my thoughts and perceptions.

But working with you at Boot Camp also helped me make a huge shift. Thank you for taking that time with me. It clearly made a difference. (Did you do an ooga-booga on me or something, because seriously, it’s crazy how I’ve managed to break this life-long pattern).

Looking forward to seeing ya in NYC when you come, and of course, at the next Boot Camp.

A big hug to you,
-Joann Klimkiewicz

Kyle,

You have definitely found your calling. Your energetic, possitive, and amazing attitude toward life is a gift and your calling is sharing it with others. You show your students how to be true to themselves, which in turn makes them a better comic. I have been a close friend of Roy Brewster’s for over 20 years, since bootcamp he is a different man. Not only is he difinitely growing as an outstanding comedian, (Seeing his before and after videos is absolutely amazing!) But, he is also growing as an outstanding man. He is handling challenges in his life with a positive attitude and has set goals in his life that, because of you, I believe he will achieve! Thank you for that!

By the way… have you seen the line up for the Ice House in Pasadena March 28th? Your students… Roy Brewster, Jimmy Shaw, Myke Dehu, Halli Borgfjord! The last time they got together it was amazing! Wish you were in town to see this great showcase of your success! I will be there!

If anyone reading this is thinking of attending this bootcamp, stop thinking and just DO IT! Make it happen! You simply cannot lose!

Thank you Kyle and Louie! You are changing lives! Keep it up!

Your friend,

Dawn Klein
