Whatever you want to do in comedy, I can help you make it
happen—and make it happen bigger, better, and faster.
With my help, your comedy will be sharper, you'll be more
prolific, and you'll have a better chance of breaking through
and becoming successful.
I've been teaching and advising comics and comedy writers
of all skill levels how to be funny. I wrote the amazon
best-selling series How to Write Funny.
And I developed a training program at the famous Second
City in Chicago that's guided hundreds of students into
successful comedy careers.
"People I’ve mentored are working on all the late-night talk shows, they’re writing for sitcoms, movies, everything."
“I feel so lucky to have had Scott Dikkers as a mentor. He was probably the single most influential person in my development as a comedy writer. The things he taught me, I still draw upon to this day. He’s a legend, a pioneer, and one hell of a teacher.”

“I owe a large part of my gag writing career to Scott, and to really hard work of course. Recently I took one-on-one coaching sessions with Scott. They really moved my game up a few gears. Gag writing is becoming a habit now. I follow a process that I believe in and have been creating better and more gags consistently. My judgement is improving, and most of all I’m becoming more confident as a comedy writer. I got lucky.
Thanks Scott”

So many struggling comedy wannabes feel stuck in their
comedy careers. They pay for comedy classes, and the only
thing that seems to result is paying for more comedy classes.
Other people dream of pursuing comedy but they don't know
where to start, or how to do it. So, they just stagnate in their
day job and give up on their dreams.
And there are others who work hard, but just spin their wheels.
They lack focus and they lack the know-how to reach
audiences, grow a fanbase, and build a career in comedy.
If you follow any of these paths, I can guarantee you one thing:
you're not going to get anywhere. You'll grow old regretting
that you never gave comedy a serious try.
"Get in touch with me today so we can get you unstuck. Your comedy career is waiting! I look forward to working with you."
“Back when I was a mere whelp fresh out of college, Scott Dikkers gave me my first break and taught me how to be a better, funnier writer—I still use his methods today. I cherish the many late nights we spent over pizza and Coke (the drinkable kind), and chuckling like idiots.”
