Workshop: Writing Comedy with Anasimone George
Have a story you tucked away because you didn’t know what to do with it?
Have you hit a writers-block-wall?
Want to learn how to be funny?
Well, I can only show you how to do the first two things, sadly I can’t teach you how to be funny. In this two hour workshop we’ll discuss what to do with ideas and concepts, how to lengthen/shorten stories, and how to transform them into different mediums, and… when it’s time to put the pen down and stop writing.
This will be a *very casual workshop* so don’t be scared! Let’s hang out and laugh together. This will be a coffee-shop style workshop so please don’t feel pressured to have the perfect joke or concept, just bring an idea, a cup of tea, and let’s get chatting.
* For folks of all levels.
** Bring a pen/notebook, or just your clickity clackity keyboard, or nothing at all!
Writing Comedy with Anasimone George is a 2 hour workshop focused on transforming ideas into stories.
Date and Time: Wed Feb 24, 6-8pm
* Limited capacity of 20 participants – Register here.
*Don’t miss Anasimone perform at PUSH.PULL: TAUNT @ Buddies In Bad Times Theatre.
