Dallas Sketch Festival is a four-day sketch comedy takeover of Dallas Comedy Club. With nearly 100 performers participating, this event will attract comedy fans from the Metroplex and beyond to Deep Ellum for a laughter filled weekend! The lineup includes homegrown Texan comedy troupes as well as acts from cities across the country including Los Angeles, New York City, Washington, D.C, and more.

Write bits and pieces so sharp you can perform them sitting down! Join SNL Weekend Update writer KC Shornima for a journey through her process for writing topical desk pieces every week.

This workshop blends the principles of Sketch and Stand-Up writing into effective methods for producing sharp, fun material. Learn actual techniques used in the SNL writers' room to churn out hundreds of jokes in record time. Then examine best practices for organizing your new material to create compelling monologue-style pieces.

Take your writing to the next level with this cross-disciplinary lesson in Late Night comedy!
