The Make It To The Mic! School of Comedy offers something unique and
incredible we like to call our "Mentors Program".
We get by with a little help from our friends!! Each week of the program,
we invite a comedian to come down and “throw it down” with the class!
They participate in improv games, help build standup sets and give valuable
tips for their budding comedy lives. Most of them don't know what to
expect and they ask, "Should I be prepared with anything?". The answer is
always, "No! Just be a kid when you walk through the door!". No one has
failed us yet and they keep coming back! We love you guys...so this page is
dedicated to YOU!!

Nadine Rajabi
Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism,
fearless. In fact, she was the youngest paid regular
at the Hollywood Improv, and is now a paid regular
on East Coast Clubs like “Stand-Up New York”.
Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and
being noted as the “one of the youngest and
brightest up and comers” are just a few of her
accomplishments. Besides catching Nadine on
television, you can currently hear her on National
Lampoon Radio everyday on XM Channel 154,
where she shares her celebrity and pop culture
gossip. For more Nadine check out her comedy

Nick Thune
I am a stand-up comedian. You can see me at
the Hollywood Improv, The Laugh Factory, terrible
coffee houses or bars, and other places around
the country depending on my schedule. In the
winter of 2006 I was invited to perform at the HBO
Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Co. Soon after
Comedy Central asked me make some short
films and shoot a stand-up special (special will be
airing in 2007).
I am also an actor. I recently did some small to
medium size roles in Unaccompanied Minors,
Knocked Up, License to Wed, and Spring
Breakdown. The films are in the process of being
finished. All are set to release in late 2006 and
early 2007.
