Seattle SketchShop
5-week Summer Sketch Comedy-Writing Workshop:

Sketch writer, director, and half of the internationally acclaimed duo The Cody Rivers Show, Mike Mathieu, will lead a five-week course in sketch comedy writing, culminating in an informal performance of new work.
       
With 4+ years and 150+ sketches of experience, Mathieu has learned a few lessons about comedy writing that elevate material above the formulaic norm.
     
 In this workshop, participants will learn how to brainstorm, write, perform, and tweak a scene while anticipating an audience's needs.
       
Participants are invited (but not required) to bring any new or in-progress scripts for critique, and will be expected to attend every class, generate new ideas, rewrite, and have a good time.
