COMEDY WRITING

 

Find your point of view. Turn it into jokes. Say something on

purpose.

​

Comedy Writing is a practical, idea-driven class focused on helping you discover what you find funny - and how to turn that into clear premises, strong points of view, and well-crafted jokes. Whether you’re interested in stand-up, sketch, or satire, this class gives you tools you can apply across styles and formats.

 

You’ll learn how to:

• Identify strong premises and sharpen your point of view

• Write jokes with clear setups, punchlines, and tags

• Heighten ideas and find the funny angle in everyday observations

• Explore the fundamentals of satire - what it is and how it works

• Edit and rewrite material to make it clearer, tighter, and funnier

​

This class is ideal for anyone who wants to strengthen their comedic voice, write with intention, and better understand why jokes work - not just when they work.

 

*No previous writing experience required; curiosity and a sense of humor encouraged.
