HEY, YOU! Have you ever wanted to be part of a sketch comedy team as seen on Studio C or SNL or Key & Peele or Portlandia or Monty Python?

Then the Studio E! Sketch Comedy Workshop is tailor-made for you! This class will operate as a sort of “writers room” where you’ll brainstorm script ideas – and then in teams you’ll write, perform, and direct sketch comedy sketches for our Comedy Showcase.  We’ll also eventually film and upload those sketches to our Studio E! YouTube Channel and Studio E! Instagram.

In this two hour, year-long class, you’ll experience the freedom to risk creatively in a FUN environment – where we don’t fear failure, we embrace it, because it makes for the funniest comedy bits!  Each class will begin with improv games to help you get to know each other better, as well as spark your imagination and jumpstart ideas for sketches. If you’re not really an actor or comedian, we welcome writers, editors, and cinematographers as well to help produce content!  You’re welcome to join as long as you LOVE comedy!

At the end of the year, the class will perform their favorite sketches as well as improv games in front of a live audience at the Comedy Showcase.

A Few Things To Keep In Mind:

• I’m looking for team players who enjoy collaborating and making people laugh – and are game to step out of their comfort zone to try new things.
• If you aren’t a comedian or performer, you can still join the class if you’d just like to write the scripts or take part in producing the Showcase and short films.
• Release forms will be required for actors in any sketches on YouTube or Instagram.  (Comment section will be monitored.)
• Students expected to attend rehearsals during the Tech Week before the Comedy Showcase performances.  Exact days and times TBD.
