Yeah, UCB and Groundlings are the usual suspects, and deservedly so. But honestly, you’ve got a massive advantage being in LA – it's a comedy ecosystem. Don't just focus on the big schools. Think about your learning style. Are you a solo operator who thrives on structure, or do you need the energy of a group? If you're self-motivated, devour comedy writing books, find online critique partners, and hammer out jokes daily. Treat it like a physical workout for your brain. If groups are your jam, explore community college theater programs. They're often cheaper than private schools, and the diverse student body can spark unexpected creativity. Plus, you'll meet people outside the typical comedy clique. And no matter what, hit the open mics. It's brutal, but you’ll learn more from one bad set than ten workshops. Network like crazy – LA's comedy scene is all about who you know. But don't just focus on "comedy writing" classes; improv and even creative writing workshops build crucial skills. You're in a city bursting with resources; use them. Good luck!
