No "writer" experience required.

Find Your Funny on Paper
 

Think of writing as "improv in slow motion." If you love noticing funny things in everyday life, then you are halfway there!

Our writing is unique as it isn't about staring at a blank screen or worrying about grammar, it’s just a dynamic, collaborative group brainstorming session where you get to press pause and polish your best ideas.

 

If you can chat with friends, want to be better at making someone laugh at a dinner party, or ever have come up with a funny idea in the shower, you already have everything you need!

We provide the supportive space, simple tools, and awesome people to help you bring your funny ideas to life.

 

Led by current comedy writers (with credits like Saturday Night Live, MADtv, Second City Chicago, National Lampoon, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and Disney Studios.) who know how to make writing collaborative, stress-free, and most importantly, a fun creative outlet!​

What You’ll Do in Class
 

  • Turn Everyday Thoughts into Comedy:
    Take small, funny observations or stories from your daily life
    and structure them into hilarious, clear concepts.

     

  • Learn the 5 Classic Comedy Scene Types:
    Discover the simple frameworks that make top comedic scenes tick,
    and how to apply them easily to your own ideas.

     

  • Experience a Collaborative "Writers' Room":
    Bounce ideas around a supportive table of creative people, using "Yes, And" to build on each other's humor.

     

  • Craft Fun Short-Form Content:
    Create one-off comedic bits, fun characters, and ideas ready for videos or social reels to share with others or for work

     

  • Sharpen Your Unique Voice:
    Build confidence expressing your humor clearly and persuasively;
    a skill that works as well in everyday life and speeches as it does on paper.

     

  • Zero Homework Grades:
    No expensive software or anxiety about failing. Just guided, hands-on creative exercises every week.

No prior writing or comedy experience is necessary. Zero. None.

We'll bring you from absolute beginner to being able to craft comedy pieces

All you need is just an interest and desire to create!
