It’s one thing to tell a funny story to your friends over drinks, but to be funny on the page is an art unto itself," says comedy writer Kate Montgomery. In this workshop, we’ll explore the elusive craft of comedy writing. You’ll learn the difference between situation comedy, character-driven comedy, comedy drama, and action comedy, how to structure a set up and pay off, and the ever-essential 'rule of three’. With a combination of screenings, short lectures, group brainstorming, individual writing exercises, games, and improv, you’ll learn how to tap into your comic side and become a more entertaining storyteller.
