This introduction gives you a quick overview of the class. Next we start session one!
From YouTube to the stage, this session shows how to turn tavern storytelling into live standup by building an audience, crafting punchlines, embracing improv, and touring with comedic characters.
Explores creating the character When Lake, an optimistic artist who discusses paintings in a quirky voice, using appearance, props, and poster reviews to drive sketch comedy and future projects.
Explore how music and comedy intertwine through Percy Gammons, a musician who works at a pizza place. The session builds his world with mock news interviews and original songs.
Stay committed to your craft by showing up consistently, continually developing your comedic characters and sketch work, archiving ideas, seeking feedback, and pursuing new formats like live shows and podcasts.
In this course you will learn how I created and developed comedic characters and found the funny within the world of these characters. I share my approach to generating ideas, developing them and executing the comedy in various forms from sketch to live shows to music. You will hear stories of what has worked and not worked in approaching this craft.
