Jim Rauth founded the Comedy College and "Stand up Comedy 101" in 1999 in Milwaukee, WI. "I had taken a comedy class myself in 1996 and got out onto the road and realized I didn't have all the tools of a great comic. I needed to succeed there was so much lacking in that course because the instructor wasn't a performer", said Jim.
​
Jim also managed Milwaukee's first Joker's Comedy Club!
​
Jim has produce over 450 comedy shows in various clubs and theaters in Milwaukee and Chicago!
