This course will provide participants with a comprehensive source of information and is designed to improve the participant’s comedy writing practices by focusing on weekly writing assignments and feedback sessions in a writer’s room environment. This course is designed to increase awareness, knowledge, and understanding of issues related to comedy writing. This course includes foundational instruction and a review of joke structure, comedic characters, sketches, videos, comedic perspectives, and writing processes. Participants will share and review each other’s work and learn the importance of a writer’s room setting. Additionally, participants will better understand their own creative processes, writing routines, and comedic points of view.
The course is founded on the comedy principles of the critically acclaimed Lincoln Lodge, a national leader in cultivating and developing new comedy talent.
The weekly 2-hour sessions of this course will focus on:
Joke structure in several comedic genres
