The Fundamentals of Sketch Comedy
The Fundamentals of Sketch Comedy
Saturday January 23rd, 12 - 3pm
$45

Are you interested in learning about sketch comedy, but do not want to commit to a class that costs hundreds of dollars? That's completely reasonable! Here is an introductory workshop will give you the fundamentals of the tricky genre known as sketch. This is a great class for folks who have never taken a comedy class, and/or people that are funny but are not sure what exactly to do about it.

Questions will be answered:
What is sketch comedy exactly?
How do you write a sketch?
How do characters work?
Why is some stuff really funny and some stuff really bad?

And you'll learn about:
How to translate a funny idea into a sketch!
Live sketches vs. filmed sketches!
How to put on a sketch comedy show!
The inside scoop on comedy festivals!

Plus you'll get a curated list of shows and sketches to check out!
