You’ll be introduced to the many aspects of comedy writing. You will get a intro to my own unique structure to writing comedy plus character development, scenes, beats and the ever beguiling “twist” ending. Students are encouraged to bring in comedy writing to workshop and get feedback.

In This Workshop We’ll Cover:

  • The Basics: Status, Obstacles
  • What Makes Good Comedy Writing

  • How to Punch Up 

  • How To “Find” An Ending

  • The Writers Room

Seats are LIMITED as I want everyone to be able to get the most out of this class!
