# Would you choose the better tutor or the better showcase?

If two stand-up courses covered roughly the same level, what would actually decide it for you: who teaches it, how much stage time you get during the course, class size, or the final showcase? I keep thinking the showcase sounds like the exciting bit on the sales page, but several weeks of useful feedback probably matters more than one good room at the end. Curious what people would prioritise before paying rather than what looks nicest in the course description.
