About Us
Las Vegas International School of Stand-up Comedy
Welcome to The Las Vegas International School of Stand-Up Comedy. Our objective as a professional Stand-up comedy school, is to prepare our graduates for a universal Style of stand-up comedy.
Yes, we realize, other schools primarily teach you a local style of stand-up comedy, which is good if you plan on never leaving your local area. For the most part, this style doesn’t work in the UK, USA, Canada etc. Our curriculum is designed for the “ wanting to go global’ comedians and not just your local pub or tavern. We’ve created a formula that with a slight tweak, your material will work in Australia or the UK or The USA or Canada or…. Where ever.
No, this isn’t a “we do all the work for you course”. We show you the steps and you become the master creator and universal performer.
The school’s founder, Donte D'one, STARTED DOING STAND UP COMEDY AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF 14 ½ IN Las Vegas (The Improv, The Sahara Hotel and The Hilton formerly known as The International Hotel). He has performed in Los Angeles,(Comedy Store, The Improv, Comedy Act Theatre and in the Long Beach Comedy Festival) San Francisco (Cobbs Comedy Club) in the USA plus Comedy and Fringe Festivals in Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Perth, Sydney and Brisbane. From 2008-2020 he owned and operated one of Sydney’s longest running Stand-up comedy clubs, where funny comics such as Aaron Chen, Tom Cashman, Ray Bradran, Jenni Tian, Kyle Legacy, Matthew Wakefield, Joe Camino, Andrew Hamilton and Rhys Nicolson got there early starts in the biz.
He opened his first comedy school in 2010; since then, he’s trained over 1600 people in the art of stand-up comedy, in all states in Australia (excluding NT) some of his past students like Katie Burch, Jamal Abdul, Billy Darcy, Waka, Joe White, Michelle Betts, Kabba and Frida Deguise plus others who have gone on to start their own schools, are the most respected in the industry.

Former Students
Our school was designed for those that are serious about learning the Universal Art of stand-up comedy. Whether you’re looking to make a career change or looking to do stand up as a serious Hobbie, we would love to have you in our next class Or if you’re only looking to dip your toe in or learn the very basics, we suggest purchasing our "Intro To Stand-Up Comedy" online course. This will save you hundreds of dollars if you decide afterwards, comedy isn't for you or try signing up to one of the other schools on line, such as Sydney Comedy School or School of Hard Knock Knocks in Vic, we recommend these schools because the founders are both former graduates (From Aus Comedy school), taught by the founder of Las Vegas International School of stand-up Comedy.
We hope to see u in class soon. Keep laughing!
