I’m often asked to recommend sketch clubs in Sydney. Here is a quick list which is by no means exhaustive but highly recommended (for regional areas you can get a listing from here and scroll to the bottom of the page).

For studios and schools that offer tutored classes / workshops over a term see end of this list.

NB: For the sake of currency I haven’t included the URL but you can use the key words to do a google search, or reach out to me livtoperform@gmail.com if you want to know more.
