Philadelphia Comedy Academy - Class Information

"Brad Trackman has been Cody's (age 17) comedy teacher/mentor for the last 3 years. Cody's comedy has blossomed to the point with Brad that he now can put-on his own show. I am ever so grateful to Brad for helping our son reach his goals. I'd encourage any young performer/writer who feels the call of comedy to give Brad Trackman a call first. He's the reason why Cody is today - still pursuing the call of comedy!"

"I wanted to thank you for what you and your wonderful classes have done for my son. As you know I went through a bad marriage and a worse divorce to escape a violent situation. He placed himself in the middle of everything as lots of kids do and claimed responsibility for everything including fixing and protecting me. I took him though counseling, doctoring, medicating...church, activities, family therapy, individual therapy - you name it, I tried it. He was withdrawn, depressed, lonely and had the lowest of self confidence.

Now I know this may sound unbelievable but what you did for him in four weeks with the Comedy classes did more for him than anything I tried! He gained confidence, self assurance and not to mention better observation and writing skills. He said it was such an incredible high to be up there and have all those people watching and listening to him. And the fact that he was able to make people laugh was just the best experience. He still talks about you and the classes and we have talked about how much better he became after his stand up night. He is at Gloucester County College getting all 'A's, has a sweet little girlfriend and is happy as can be!

So I just wanted to say THANK YOU - you are BETTER than a therapist!"

"Imagine this, a bunch of Wharton geeks, with no jobs want to do stand-up. Very little experience from this ragtag group of 10, in less than a month Brad Trackman took us from no material to a full 1 and a 1/2 hour show, that we sold out. Reviews from the audience included "surprisingly good" and "you sure you haven't done this before". As Co-President of the Wharton Comedy Club, the best idea I have had in my tenure was hiring Brad to help us out. He legitimized our club and our content. If he can take a bunch of suits and make them comics, he is more than a comedian, he is a magician."
