I took a class with Tamale over Zoom earlier this year, as lockdown started. I was blown away by the quality of the instruction from a relatively inexpensive online class. Tamale was incredibly supportive and tactful of every single student, and we were a diverse bunch. She always had thorough, insightful notes for us, as well as concrete direction on how to write and perform standup. I found her explanations really helpful in demystifying the process. Moreoever, she’s such a good comic herself that she could come up with impromptu additions or directions for our sets on the spot. Truly inspiring.
It was a great pleasure to study with her, and the only reason I haven’t signed up for more classes is that I’m out of work at the moment. (Thanks, Covid!) Every person I’ve spoken with about my experience has heard how highly I recommend Tamale. Get in on the ground floor of Tamale Sepp while you can! She’s headed for great things.
