The fastest and funniest way to get (or refresh) the tools and skills you need to write jokes that only YOU can write. Through GOLD’s proven methods, you’ll get a new handle on joke writing mechanics, clarity on what makes YOU funny, and the capacity to apply what you’ve learned to other areas of comedy, work, and life.

Tight Five Workshop

The stage comic’s ultimate tool is a rock-solid 5-minute set. In this peer-led workshop, we’ll help you craft and nail it.

Perfect 10

Level up your standup set. Turn your 2 or 3 or 5 into a tight 10 for your next headlining set! (Taught by Carolyn Castiglia)

Sketch Comedy Bootcamp

Back to the basics without being boring. Hone your skills, refine your style, and become the sketch boss you always dreamed of being.

Advanced Sketch Writing

Conquer character monologues, break the boundaries of sketch formula, engage deeper with your work, and dip into the endless well of free-writing.

Time to step up and OWN your story. In this course, you'll get all the tools and practice you need to tell the best version of your story.

Improv Bootcamp

Learn all the basics of “Yes and…”, building a character, getting out of your head, and giving your best “Whose Line” performance.

❝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 S.

GOLD Comedy is the comedy school, creative community, and content studio where women and non-binary folks grow their comedy careers, build a powerful network, and make funny stuff.

We believe that comedy is power. When you write a joke, you reassemble reality. When you make people laugh, you make people listen. 

Women (and other non-straight cis white dudes) don’t have equal access to that power, for themselves or in society...because patriarchy!

GOLD puts women first because comedy does not. And! *trumpet sound* When we change the face of comedy, we change the face of power. 

Founded by Lynn Harris in 2016, GOLD started as live comedy classes and events for teen girls in New York City, plus a one-of-a-kind online standup course and other digital resources. It is now the one-stop online shop for women/non-binary folks all over the world who want to be their funniest selves.
