The success of the program can be attributed to Chancellor Vernon K Ruffin Jr, Co-Founder & Director of Administration Andrea Darden, and Lead Instructor TuRae, who is held in high regard as Philadelphia's favorite comedian.

"I come from a performing arts education, and Andrea has worked with many Universities...so we have the structure. TuRae solidifies the program with unmatched pedigree, wisdom, and skill," said Vernon K Ruffin Jr., Founder of Philadelphia Comedy College.
