Finding Comedy Collaborators

Hello all,
I've been wanting to get into comedy as an actor and writer, but have been unsure how to find people to help out and collaborate on things like sketches, short films etc.

I'm not a stand up, so don't perform live (unless I can find some form of character comedy open mic), and none of my friends are all that interested in comedy.

How do I find fellow budding comedians I can work and grow with?

Thanks,
James

I'd like to find this out too. I imagine the answer mainly involves trawling through social media and finding like-minded people in the same area. Or actually leaving the house and getting to comedy venues and chatting to people. I will never do this.
