Every comic needs strong material; it's the cornerstone of their act. What you say impacts how you perform, and what the audience will think of you. Your material literally defines you to the audience.
Sometimes we seem dry. The ideas don't come to us quickly, or the premises don't seem to be funny once we work them. More often than not, the problem isn't the concept; the concept is your process. MINING THE FUNNY deconstructs your process and opens you up to others.
MINING THE FUNNY is a 2 day intensive workshop on writing comedy. Not cookie cutter comedy with outdated formulas and tricks, but writing rich comedy that is perfectly suited to you. Mining what you find funny, and bringing that to the forefront. Over the 2 day sessions lasting 4 hours each we will cover:
- Deconstruction of your own writing style
- Premise generation
- Structure
- Identifying your personal sense of humor.
- Use of language, movement and rhythms in your comedy
- Editing
- Expanding your concepts
- Structuring a short (TV) set, and a long (Headline) set
- Ways to organize your concepts so that it is at your fingertips
