Comedy Writing class w/ Eric Hoffman (Mr. Show, Comedy By The Numbers, Adult Swim)

[erichoffman]

Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm offering a comedy writing workshop through Improv Trick in October. Good for all levels. I'm practically giving away insider information re: how to package a pilot presentation for the 15/30-minute format; what some of the networks are looking for in a pilot script; tips on expanding a sketch or video short into a pilot script; introduction to becoming a show runner; etc. Thanks!

I have to work on Sundays, but am interested otherwise, so please keep posting class info here -- thanks!

Thanks St. Gegland!

There are a few slots still available. We'll also be working on show bibles, deciding whether to direct, and building your show's "family". And, okay, IF there's a demand, we'll talk a little about Mirror Routines and the king of Slow Burns. But only if people want. Thanks everyone!

Can you write off moisture lost during spit takes? I'll take my answer off the air and not at all, since I live in New York. Still, take this class, people who can. Why don't you do it? I can't believe you haven't just done it by now.

by the end of the course will students walk away with workshopped scripts or packages, or is it primarily lecture/informational?

[erichoffman]

it's both - students will have workshopped scripts/packages, and along the way I'll be lecturing. And giving notes on written assignments in between classes.

Also, if a student isn't able to make one of the classes, there will be a make up class available the week after you miss.
