Sketch 101: Structure

In this class we start from the ground up, talking about sketch structure and building a vocabulary of terms. At first a lot of these concepts will feel like restrictions to adhere to but as we go on they will form into tools that help indicate direction to your material. I like to think of this as a class that has something to offer someone who has never even written a joke before while also being worthwhile to someone who is a seasoned veteran looking to sharpen their craft. This class is a requirement to enroll in the 200 level classes.

Sketch 201: Collaboration

In this class we focus different aspects on group writing including how to give constructive notes, doing rewrites on other people’s work and direct collaboration. Sketch 101 is a requirement to enroll in this course.

Sketch 202: Production

In this class we focus on writing a sketch with the challenge of actually producing the sketch in some form. My goal is to push you to write your sketches in a more practical style and show you how to in a way value your jokes. Don't worry about not having production skills as I will try and assist with that and show you options of how to work around that, and hopefully put you in a position where you can start to acquire these skills out of your necessity to produce comedy. Sketch 101 is a requirement to enroll in this course
