What makes something funny? How does a comedy writer turn a funny idea into a fully fleshed out sketch? In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of writing for sketch including brainstorming, sketch structure, “heightening” what’s funny, and how to draw on your experience of the world around you to express your own comedic voice. Includes guest visits from professional sketch writers. The final session will feature a table reading of our work.
