Do you want to write the next big comedy? Do you want to write something that brings people joy? Do you dream of writing a movie that won’t get nearly as much respect as a drama and, historically speaking, will have virtually no chance at an Oscar? Well, this is a good place to start. In this two-evening course, you’ll learn some basics about character, structure, and jokes to set you on your path towards comedy screenwriting glory and tens of dollars.
