Kids in the Hall legend Kevin McDonald will instruct you on how to creat sketch comedy through improv and ideas in these two workshops. Check out the descriptions below and sign up at https://scared-scriptless.square.site/
Saturday, May 30th - Improv-to-Sketch
Join us for an afternoon of learning the skill of turning improv into sketch comedy with a legend. Kevin McDonald, from The Kids in the Hall, will teach techniques for transforming improvisation into finished sketches. Kevin will be your guide as you work in groups to turn improvised scenes into sketches. This workshop is great for more than just improvisers, though improv experience is recommended.
Sunday, May 31st - One-Line Premise
This workshop will teach you the skill of sketch writing based on a one-line premise. Come prepared to pitch sketch ideas and write. Bring your own preferred writing supplies (paper, pencil, pen, tablet, computer, etc.) and be prepared to actively participate. “What if the bears in Denali commented on the tourists?” Kevin will help you turn ideas like this into a full sketch. Students will have an opportunity to submit written sketches to Kevin for feedback after the workshop. No experience necessary.
About Kevin McDonald
Kevin McDonald is a comedian, actor, writer, and director, and is best known as one of the founding members of the iconic comedy troupe “The Kids in the Hall,” which he started with Dave Foley after they met at Toronto’s Second City. The group’s television series, which ran from 1988 to 1995, featured McDonald in several beloved recurring roles, such as the King of Empty Promises, Sir Simon Milligan, and Jerry Sizzler. In 2006, Kevin hosted Sketch with Kevin McDonald on CBC, which won a Canadian Comedy Award for Best Taped Live Performance. Most recently, he and the rest of “The Kids in the Hall” revived their sketch show for a new season on Amazon Prime.
