Students will learn comedy essentials: how to write jokes, desk pieces, blackouts, how to brainstorm and pitch, story structure, how to use proper format and write sketches, as well as how to contribute to other students work, a valuable writers’ room skill. Class will teach how to break writers block and find inspiration for comedy pieces.

"I seriously don't think I've had the chance to absorb that much good content in a small amount of time ever... even in college!"
— Jessica Christopher, Student
“I learned more about sketch writing in this class than any other class I’ve taken in the past."
— Mirejah Cruz, Student
"Rich knows how to write sketches - that much is obvious. But it was clear that he loves helping people get better too. . . I have never had a sketch class that helps people so much with how to think about comedy. Don't wait to find a better sketch class. It might not come along."
— Tim Marks, The KC Improv Company & Co-Founder of Fountain City Sketch Company
