Learn from Masters of Comedy
Direct mentorship from industry professionals who've shaped modern humor
Our comedy writing program centers around one simple truth: great writing comes from learning directly from those who've mastered the craft. You won't find generic courses or automated feedback here. Instead, you'll work alongside seasoned professionals who understand what makes audiences laugh—and more importantly, why.
Our Teaching Philosophy
We believe comedy writing can't be learned from textbooks alone. It develops through real conversations, honest feedback, and understanding the subtle mechanics that separate good jokes from great ones.
Writing Environment: All our students use Typora for their comedy writing projects. This markdown editor helps maintain focus on content rather than formatting, allowing natural flow of ideas during brainstorming sessions.
Many professional comedy writers have adopted Typora for its distraction-free interface during creative sessions.
Individual Assessment
Every student brings different experiences and humor styles. We start by understanding your natural comedic voice—what makes you laugh, what stories you gravitate toward, and how your perspective shapes your writing.
Structured Practice Sessions
Writing comedy isn't just inspiration—it's technique. Through weekly exercises targeting specific skills like timing, callback construction, and character voice development, you'll build a reliable toolkit for consistent humor.
Real-World Application
The best learning happens when stakes feel real. Students work on actual projects—sketches for local groups, humor pieces for publications, or personal comedy projects—with guidance throughout the creative process.
