Coaching
If you're funny, and you're stuck, I can help to unstick you and help you to be funnier.
Whether you're starting out in standup or an accomplished veteran. Whether you
need help with delivery, finding your voice, or just a boost of self-confidence.
Non-judgmental and fun. And lots of experience.
"...Cathy helped me expand many of my half finished bits and gave me a few hilarious tags. Her calm, encouraging and analytic approach to building a joke is killer. When our session was over I had a new five minutes that works on stage. Booking again!"
~ Marga Gomez
"Cathy is one those rare people who is as good at imparting her expertise as she is at executing it herself."
~ Mick Berry
"Cathy’s coaching helped take my writing and performing to a level I never imagined possible, after a 15-year hiatus from the world of stand-up. Working with Cathy will certainly be a game changer".
~ Ann Stengel
"Thanks so much for your coaching. OMG, I’m already so helped. You are so incisive
and encouraging. And it already made adifference for me. Wow!"
~ Teresa Logan
Reviews
JAY LENO
THE TONIGHT SHOW
An undiscovered gem! She started in the era when to make it you had to be clean and funny. Cathy does both exceptionally well!
LOS ANGELES TIMES
... Ladman has such clever, well-written material and such a breezy, unassuming delivery that it would be easy to overlook just how good she is: Her act seems effortless.
