We have a full series of Sketch Comedy Writing courses that will take you from your first steps in writing sketches to producing and staging complete sketch shows including live and filmed sketches.
Sketch Comedy Writing 1
In this fast-paced class, students will spend seven weeks working on idea generation, character and point-of-view, leaving with an understanding of how to write a well-structured, dynamic sketch. Participants will emerge with three polished sketches that they've rewritten and seen up on their feet. Out of class work is required.
Sketch Comedy Writing 2A: Writing Intensive
Sketch writing 2A kicks it up a notch! Participants will work on writing sketches at a more advanced level, with emphasis on working together as a writing team. This course culminates in multiple staged readings to refine a unified body of sketches. This work will then be produced as a sketch revue in Sketch 2B the following session.
Sketch Comedy Writing 2B: Production for Stage and Video
Participants in Sketch 2B will work together to produce a multi-show run of a new sketch revue at the Brody. You will have the opportunity to participate in many roles and aspects of show production, including production of at least one broadcast-quality video sketch to be featured in the final show and on the Brody’s sketch comedy channel. This class does not focus on writing: the scripts polished in Sketch 2A will provide the content for our production.
