The Hard Knock Knocks is Australia's own stand-up comedy school, with stand-up comedy classes run across Australia.

Founded in 2016 by Morry Morgan and Ben Horowitz, the comedy school has featured on Channel 9's 'Travel Guides' as well as on Apple TV's comedy drama, 'Is This Thing On?'. Since 2022 the resident comedy coach has been veteran comedian, Bradford Oakes.

Since it's founding the Hard Knock Knocks comedy school has helped well over 800 keynote speakers, bucket list tickers and budding comedians develop stand-up comedy skills. This is accomplished through monthly practical in-person workshops, combined with our own online course. We combine adult learning techniques, mentoring from veteran stand-up comedians, and loads of real onstage practice.

You’ll get the Hard Knock Knocks comedy manual, our complementary online course, video of your graduating performance, professional headshots for future marketing, and loads of one-on-one coaching from our resident comedy coach, Bob Stevenson, our returning alumnus, Kurt Sterling, and celebrity comedian, Peter Berner!
