Whether you are a beginner looking to get a leg up in developing your first 5-minute routine or a master looking to reinvigorate your writing routine; all levels can benefit from this class. Regardless of the genre in which you write, having comedic skills in your toolbox can help you create stronger characters and more engaging stories. Comedy can enhance your creative process and build a deeper relationship with your audience (everybody loves to laugh). Nurturing comedy writing skills can help you stand out to editors, publishers, and producers. Or just make you more memorable when reading presentations or marketing your work.

Through a series of writing exercises, class feedback and course materials, you will learn the basics of joke structure, how to generate and edit material, and polish that material. The tools learned in this workshop can be applied to building a stand-up act, writing satire articles, sketches or tv submissions, punching up a script or creating more engaging speeches and presentations. They say, “You can’t teach funny.” But you can teach how to Find Your Funny.
