Introduction to Sketch Comedy Writing

We formulated this introductory course because we don’t want you to have to spend months and months of your life and hundreds of your dollars to learn how to write a sketch. We want to give you the basic knowledge of what constitutes a sketch, knowledge of what makes a sketch “have legs” and what makes a sketch not “have legs,” and practice writing sketches with feedback. No amount of classes that you take or books that you read on writing sketch is an adequate substitute for sitting down and writing sketches. This course will help you along your sketch-writing journey with some guidelines on what makes for a quality sketch. We have a sketch writers’ room that meets weekly at our theater to write sketches and develop new sketch shows. If you’re interested in taking the next step of your sketch-writing journey either before or after finishing this course and you want to be considered for our writers’ room, please submit a sketch to us by clicking below.
