OVERVIEW

This workshop is a straight, writing workshop and we will not be improvising or performing. You must bring in a one line premise for a comedy sketch eg: "What if a guy was $10 short of being a millionaire" and Kevin breaks down each premise and help you see how you can write it as a scene. And a feature of this workshop is that you will write a comedy sketch from your premise and Kevin will give you notes after.
