It's important to laugh! It feels good and can brighten our mood. But nothing is worse than a "comedy" that well...just isn't funny. So when it comes to developing your comedy script, you need to make sure you are nailing your comedic beats and maximizing those LOL's.

That's why we are excited to have Katie Hathaway (Comedian & Writer @ AP Bio) host this three-week long lecture series designed to give you a crash course of what you'll need to make your next comedy sample the best yet. You'll walk away with a rich understanding of comedy development and also a better grasp of the genre marketplace.


How It Works:

  • Each week, Katie will cover a different aspect of comedy development. 
  • Following each lecture, Katie will answer your questions live.
  • As always, all Webinars are recorded and all registrants will receive the recordings after the live broadcast! 

    Topics:

    Week #1: Developing Your Next Comedy Sample 

    Week #2: Writing The Sample

    Week #3: Understanding the Marketplace
