Sketch comedy has a specific architecture, and learning it will sharpen every kind of writing you do. Over four weeks, we’ll break down the formulas professional comedy writers use to build original characters, sharp dialogue and hilarious situations from scratch. Each session we’ll review popular comedy sketches and hold interactive table reads where your classmates perform your work on screen! By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a polished, stage-ready comedic sketch and a set of comedy writing tools you can apply to fiction, essays, plays, and screenplays. No prior comedy experience required.
