This course is great for explaining the "how" of comedy. Sure, folks tell you that you're funny, but how do you actually write jokes? What kinds of jokes are there? What are *you* the funniest at? This course is fun and encouraging and tells you how to turn your funny into a real world stand-up "set," at a very affordable price.

I have been in love with GOLD for a little while now, but this course really took things to the next level. Truly could not have been happier with the course. All the videos and writing assignments were so helpful, and they made the idea of being funny feel all the more approachable. I especially loved the Video Inspo at the end of each lesson — they motivated me to make it through every module IN A DAY. Overall this was such an incredible experience and all I want is MORE. THANK YOU GOLD!
