5-WEEK COURSE

Intro To TV Sketch Writing

Have you always wanted to write hilarious sketches for TV?  Or maybe you’re looking to do something other than work at your family’s wholesale mattress store?

This entertaining, informative 5-week  course, created by an Emmy Award-winning Saturday Night Live veteran will not only teach you the various templates of sketches -- TV and movie parodies, original characters, fake commercials --  but you’ll also acquire the invaluable sketch writing Do’s and Don’ts, aka Hugh’s & Don’ts* that will help your work stand out.

In order to master sketch writing,  you’ll learn how to identify whether your comedic premise is strong enough,  as well as  comprehend the best structural options for your material. By analyzing some of television’s funniest sketches, including Key and Peele, Saturday Night Live and The Chappelle Show, you’ll learn what it takes to create a successful submission packet that shows off your comedic voice.

Ever heard the expression, “no idea is a bad idea?” Whoever said that has obviously never had to sit through a crappy comedy sketch. Fortunately, in this course, there’s no such thing as failure.  You’ll even have the opportunity to pitch your original sketch ideas and receive feedback from an accomplished TV writer-producer.
