How to Build a Dead Parrot — Comedy Sketch Writing with Neil Alsip
Learn the professional tricks of how to create a comedy sketch that will make your audience laugh so hard it will plague their memories for years to come. Award-winning film and television writer Neil Alsip draws on 25 years in Hollywood, writing for everyone from Bill Maher to Mickey Mouse, to help you give sweet sweet birth to a perfect comedy sketch of your own. In a two-night class, you’ll learn the secret mechanics used in the greatest skits in history — from SNL and Monty Python to Key and Peele and more. In dissecting what makes a good sketch great, you’ll learn how to generate ideas, find the character engine, and get the laughs your needy little heart demands. The second night, you’ll bring in a draft of your own sketch and hear your words acted out by other students in a warm and raucous table read. After generous constructive feedback, you will bounce out onto the street with a spring in your step, new friends, and a shiny little comedy gem to call your own.
