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.

  • Polish Your Show For Fringe

    Whether you want to tell your personal or professional story through standup, storytelling, monologue, or characters—or develop a dazzling keynote to deliver your unique expertise—this high-level, deeply interactive, and personal intensive, led by storytelling savant Iris Bahr, will give you the expert one-on-one and collaborative guidance you need to make your solo show happen.

    There are teachers that talk the walk but don't walk the talk. Iris does both very well. She's unrelenting with energy. Show up with an appetite and she will guide you.

  • Perfect 10

    Level up your standup set. Turn your 2 or 3 or 5 into a tight 10 for your next headlining set! You'll work with esteemed standup Carolyn Castiglia to expand and deepen your material into a proper set. A tight 10 is a standup's greatest weapon–you can break it apart into guest spot 5s, or headline your show with all 10 of your hilarious minutes.

    Carolyn is fabulous! She’s an awesome cheerleader but also challenges everyone in just the way they need. The content and material were helpful. I definitely want to take a more in depth class.
