Classes
Here at GOLD, we have year-round course offerings. Our courses come in two sizes: most of our flagship classes are included in your yearly membership ($499/year), making GOLD the most affordable AND welcoming comedy school around. Our flagship standup, sketch, and improv courses are all in a regular monthly rotation.
We also offer GOLD Label courses, which include six months of GOLD club (and all the goodies therein) and are priced separately from the yearly membership. These courses are more immersive and taught by high-level instructors like Emmy and Peabody-winning producer Ryan Cunningham (Broad City, Search Party, Inside Amy Schumer).
If you have any questions about our course offerings or want to know which GOLD classes are right for you, don’t hesitate to reach out at info@goldcomedy.com.

Finish Your Pilot
Need to get that pilot DONE? You don’t need more ideas. You need a plan. You’ve got a killer premise, amazing characters, maybe even a first act that’s so good you’ve read it out loud to your dog. But the whole pilot? Whether you’re staring at a blank page or knee-deep in rewrite hell, you’ll leave this course with the full pilot draft you've been dreaming of.
Sign UpLaGina has made my pilot funnier, smarter, and more structurally sound. When I recommend her to writers, which I do often, I like to say that if your pilot needs a contractor, decorator, or renovator, LaGina is your best bet for a perfect product.
