About your teacher

Olivia Hill wishes she was a trophy wife, a dentist, or a skipper on The Jungle Cruise. But she has been doomed to a life of stand up comedy. Which is still pretty fun. Olivia has been performing for 10 years and was named one of New York Comedy Festival’s "Comics to Watch." She can be seen performing regularly at The Hollywood Improv, The Crow, The Westside Comedy Theatre, and all over the country. Like any other Los Angeleno with a dream, she can also be seen in random commercials & emceeing all sorts of events around Los Angeles!

What students say

Olivia is a knowledgeable, focused, encouraging teacher who blends real-world practice with clear structure. As she tells students, 'you're going to get the five minute set out of this class and then perform it on stage' — and she actually gives the homework, feedback, and stage-time to make that happen. She runs a respectful, motivating class, teaches concrete techniques (pattern/punchline, rule of three), and delivers practical, actionable notes that help comics build confidence quickly. Highly recommended for anyone serious about finding their stand-up voice.
