"David Iscoe is magical. He is not only one of the most talented writers we know, he is an incredible partner and long-term collaborator. He is an absolute joy to work with and consistently goes above and beyond — making us laugh and learn, and challenging us to think differently. Like a pocketknife, his tools and abilities are multi-dimensional; we often bring him in for one thing, and he ends up doing a lot more. Lastly, he is a world-class trainer and coach who makes others better. When he teaches in our MBA class at Stanford, he lifts the students — making them substantially better at humor, writing, and thinking. We think the world of David Iscoe, and we couldn't recommend him more highly as a consultant, coach, and writer. Stop reading this and hire him RIGHT NOW."
--Naomi Bagdonas and Dr. Jennifer Aaker, lecturer and professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
"Over the last 5-6 years, I've hired a handful of people to help me improve various aspects of my comedy writing. David is that rare type who takes whatever ideas you have and shows you how they can be vastly improved and developed, without ever making you feel like they stunk to begin with. I esp. liked the way he planned out our sessions and used example sketches that were totally "my style" yet often new to me."
--Henrik Persson, writer for The Skewer and Breaking the News
This is going to be my SIXTH consecutive year working with David, and I could not be happier with his work product, work ethic, attitude, and billing. I have always been impressed by how astute, communicative, and on-point he is. In the humanities field, he is a Renaissance man: he imbues appropriate humor into serious professional writing pieces, edits and reviews student work with both clarity and candor, and is an amazing jack-of-all-trades when it comes to instruction. David can help students with ELA essays, historical analysis, teach SAT prep, or even teach Social-Emotional-based classes on college and career readiness! His college essay guidance is exceptional - he can cut to the core of the work and help the writer look into their own experience and voice to bring their work to the next level. In fact, under his tutelage, we have had MULTIPLE acceptances to Harvard, Stanford, UChicago, Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown, UPenn, and Macaulay Honors - just to name a few!
David is incredible. If you have a chance to hire him and you don't, then you are silly! (No offense.)
