Dobie is considered to be one of the best to train anyone in Comedy. His former students and the Chicago Tribune agree.

Dobie has taught one day seminars at Marquette University and several corporate sales meetings across North America. He has also taught at and been asked to return to the prestigious Round Table Convention in Hollywood in which comedy writers from all over North America gather to learn all facets of the comedy business. That convention was started by Gene Perret, who was Bob Hope's head writer for many years and a writer and producer for The Carol Burnett Show and many other successful projects.

As Dobie teaches in his classes and seminars, "Other people's pain is HILARIOUS. When it's yours, it might feel bad to you but you're making others laugh, whether they admit it or not." It's cruel, but it's a fact. Well, Dobie Maxwell can make you laugh. If not, he can teach you to find your own sense of humor and try to make others laugh. It's not as easy as it looks, and he has saved you many years of time having to go through the grueling trials and turmoils he has gone through. Think you're having a rough day? Think of "Mr. Lucky" and it should put a smile on your puss. That's the whole idea of a comedian anyway. Dobie doesn't mind.

Learn from the master of mistakes, and avoid his pitfalls, and learn from his achievements.
