# What would make you choose one beginner comedy course over another?

[DanDoesFive](/banter/Stand-Up-Comedians/DanDoesFive) 27 Aug 

There seem to be loads of beginner courses that promise roughly the same things on paper: writing, performance, confidence, then maybe a showcase. If you were choosing one now, what would actually separate them for you? Tutor, class size, amount of stage time, location, price, the final show, or something else? I’m trying to work out what’s genuinely useful to compare rather than just reading every course page until they blur together.
