Hearts of GOLD

  • I am sooooooooo happy I found this community. I feel like I belong here and have finally found my true purpose in life.

    Rahkie

  • Being a part of the GOLD community, with women who are building bright careers in entertainment, or just adding the magic of comedy to their lives, has changed the course of my life.

    Lindsay

  • It’s wild how immensely and wonderfully different my experience has been with GOLD compared to the other comedy resources I’ve tried.

    Emily

  • God, it sounds super silly but GOLD literally is the answer to my prayers. GOLD is giving me not just the confidence but the tools (classes, performances, direct feedback) to do exactly what I’ve always wanted to do: hone my persona and write smart jokes. The safe, beautiful open mic is absolutely my faaaave. I wish I had something funny to close this but all I have are tears of gratitude.

    Megan

  • Maggie’s class was the first time that I ever felt like I could truly possibly be a comedy writer.
