Jumpstart Your Comedy Writing Workshop with Michael Busch - 08/10/25
It’s an amazing feeling when inspiration strikes - it seems like we can hardly type fast enough to get all that brilliance from our brains to the page. But to make it as a writer, you have to teach yourself to write when you aren’t inspired as well.
Whether you’re focused on stand up, sketch, storytelling, or general comedic writing, you will walk away with practical ways to get your brain moving when it feels like it’s stuck in park.
There will also be opportunities to workshop your ideas and get feedback from the instructor and other participants.
