Sketch Comedy Crash Course - What is it, and how do I start making it?

If you've watched shows like Saturday Night Live, Key & Peele, or I Think You Should Leave and wondered how you could create your own comedy sketches, then this crash course is for you! You'll learn how to get your first sketch off the ground including types of sketches, sketch comedy writing styles, plus a sneak peek about the Triangle Sketch Comedy writer room process! We will watch comedy sketches together and dive into fundamentals like the game, POV, beats, 2-handers, and everything else you need to start writing hilarious comedy sketches. We’ll finish with writing exercises, and group work to create a sketch that will be read together! Laptops are recommended, but pen and paper work fine! Then after writing, we will briefly talk about the process of producing a sketch after the writers room!
