Students will learn the ABC's basics of sketch writing and creating memorable comedic characters. Each week, students will bring in their sketches and workshop them with Josh. Students will perform in each other's sketches, being able to hone and fine-tune their material as well as their comedic skills. Finished sketches belong to the writer and can be used onstage or even as short film scripts.
