Comedy writing course material and workshop space

Three formats, one platform

Each course covers a different comedy discipline. Pick the one that matches how you already think about humor.

Stand-Up Structure

How a bit is actually built — premise, tag, callback — and why most first drafts fall apart at the tag.

Course details

Sketch Writing

Character-driven scenes with a single comic premise that escalates. We work from script to read-through.

Course details

Short-Form Writing

One-liners, social posts, headlines — comedy in tight formats requires different instincts than long-form work.

Course details

Editorial Feedback

Written notes on submitted drafts from someone who writes for a living. Not automated, not rushed.

What the writing actually looks like

Sessions focus on the mechanics: what makes a joke land structurally, not just instinctively. There's a difference between being funny and knowing how to write funny — the courses address both.

Each module includes sample scripts, annotated rewrites, and real material to workshop on your own schedule.

"I'd been writing bits for two years. The course made me realize I was skipping the tag every time and didn't even know it."
