Testimonials
Carmiya has an incredible eye and ear for what makes a joke great. She’s strengthened my joke structure and helped me become a more dynamic performer.
Carmiya gets me. She’s a comedy-writer magician. My intent is to work with her until one of us croaks.
When I need to punch-up a joke or premise, Carmiya comes through for me. And she’s so witty and smart! She’s like Uber…she delivers the punchlines. She’s so good at helping me craft my act, she should be listed on Angie’s List. I keep her on retainer, she’s that good.
Carmiya has a brilliant comedic sensibility. More importantly, she’s an active listener! She makes workshopping jokes easy because she’s truly engaged in the process of providing feedback on joke content, asking relevant questions that might enhance the material, and providing perspective to make it audience-friendly. Every writer needs a Carmiya in their life!
Carmiya helped me with my acceptance speech after I won an award and needed to speak in front of hundreds of people. I knew that having a good joke upfront would make the whole speech run smoothly and I was able to wow the audience with this incredible joke about Tupperware.
Carmiya has a brilliant mind for comedy – always creative, always has great ideas to make a joke a bit better. I feel grateful every time I work with her.
Carmiya can watch your set, listen closely, and somehow deliver feedback that instantly levels up your jokes and unlocks a whole new tier of funny!
Carmiya’s excellent at honing in on the heart of a joke, and imagining comedic options that are true to your voice.
Carmiya is a master joke writer with impeccable comic instincts. She also is a very generous comedy colleague–always offering affirmation for other comics’ work. I would highly recommend her as comedy instructor in joke writing, performance, or any other aspect of stand-up.
