Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this comedy writing class:

It's one of the dream jobs of many comedians: working in a real writers' room on the staff of a hit TV sitcom. But how do you get that job? What is it like? And most importantly... can I really do it? In this intense six-week course, students will begin to craft their very own sitcom script in a classroom experience designed to mimic working in an actual TV writers' room. 

Through a combination of lectures, examples, worksheets and exercises - as well as copious amounts of actual writing! - this course will take students through the process of development, and using their own original characters and ideas, show them how to apply proper technique and structure that will result in a finished professional sitcom pilot script. 

That's right... at the end of this six-week course (with plenty of your own hard work and creativity, naturally!), you will leave this class with an ACTUAL SCRIPT IN HAND, written entirely by you! Seating for this unique class is very limited; don't miss out!

Remote Learning

This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.

Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.

Question from Anonymous
Is this an online course or in person, because I'm in Toronto. If in person could you point me in the direction of an online course?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi, there! This class is held in a classroom set up. Unfortunately, we don't have online classes for this at the moment but you can check back from time to time to see if we will offer an online class in the future.

Question from wearywriter
Does this class teach you how to write and create a format for your ideas? Or is it free form with a few worksheets to get you to think for yourself and then trial and error with writing?
Answer from Kristle C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! Yes, this class teaches you how to write and format your ideas. The school recommends coming into the class with a rough idea for a sitcom! It doesn't have to be fleshed out; just something simple like "I'd like to write a show about my time in the military" or "I've got an idea about these three guys who run a bar", etc. (It'll get fleshed out in the class).
Answer from Kristle C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
The School will also discuss things like show styles, character arcs, story beats, outlining, and more; through the six weeks, you will be walked through the entire process of creating a script. If you do all of the homework assignments, by the end of the six weeks, you will actually leave the class with a completed pilot script. Hope this helps!

We believe that comedy is truly an art-form, a combination of raw talent and technique. Talent can be lost without technique, so we first teach joke structure and the basic language of comedy. We also believe that what makes a great comedian is being personal and authentic and, perhaps, a rule-breaker,...
