Comedy Writing: Going a Level Further

Great comedy doesn’t just entertain—it transforms, surprising and delighting in unexpected ways. In this workshop, we’ll focus on finding the heart of what makes your work funny and amplifying it to its fullest potential. Learn how to identify that “state change” moment—the shift that pushes your comedy into new and exciting territory—and use it to distinguish your voice. Whether you’re working on finished pieces or works in progress, we’ll zero in on the core of the humor, refine it, and explore ways to dig deeper and go further. Get ready to hone your craft and take your comedy to eleven!
