All Levels. Write funny things that make people laugh! In this introductory course, students will explore the essentials of comedy writing. Learn techniques for brainstorming, pitching ideas and fleshing out a premise and experiment with genre and narrative voice. Read and discuss hilarious comedy writing including Onion articles, short stories, and scripts from television and film. Write your own comedy pieces—fake news articles, essays, sketches—and workshop them with the class.
