Digital Production Teams
GOLD Comedy’s Digital Production Teams is a year-long program designed to grow your comedy career and your network. Each team is made up of funny women and nonbinary members of GOLD who create sketch, parody, news, musical and satirical shorts. Eight teams across the United States launched in the spring of 2022 — including four teams in New York, two in Los Angeles, one in Chicago, and one completely virtual team. Three-time Emmy-nominated director and producer Ana Bretón serves as the teams’ advisor.

Getting to write and direct (!) a comedy sketch within less than a month was so fun, challenging, rewarding, and definitely a highlight. Constantly collaborating with other awesome people in comedy has also been super inspiring. I love that you get to share your ideas no matter what state they are in, and give and receive real-time feedback to each other to help make those ideas the best that they can be! You can feel things getting better and better as you go along.

The biggest benefit from joining GOLD has been finding fellow like minded creatives – for me it was finding a team of women/NBs who are just as busy as I am, but willing to come together and create something hilarious together.
Linda D., Executive Producer, Social Media Strategist -
The best part of joining a digital team was meeting and learning from other talented, funny women. Since Bloomsday is the only fully remote team, I wondered how we would produce sketches while living in different parts of the country. Thankfully, our team is so creative and resourceful, and because of that, we make magic happen. We've gotten good at letting people shine at their strengths while encouraging each other to try new things. I now have cool funny friends from all over the country!
