About this Event

Overview


Calling all comedy writers! Whether you write sketches, articles, screenplays, or stand-up sets - this is a space for you!

Delightful vibes abound inside this *now monthly writers group, here for everything from warmups to freewrites to table reads and feedback.

This is a place for all levels of experience. Bring a piece you're working on, or just arrive with an open mind. Each week, we'll do writing exercises to sharpen our skills, read scripts to gather inspiration, and there will be time reserved to give and receive feedback if requested.
