This class meets only once and does not have a class show.
One of the toughest things about writing sketch comedy is actually coming up with the idea of your sketch! This workshop will teach you simple exercises to help generate plenty of sketch ideas. You’ll get practice working in a writers room setting. And practice pitching ideas to your sketch team.
After this workshop, you’ll have several premises to start writing all your sketches. You’ll have the beginning of an outline for a sketch. And you’ll learn a new and easy way to generate ideas that you can continue to use on your own!
