Stand-Up Comedy 101: How to write great jokes!
Class experience
This first class will be part lecture, part Q+A where I share the stand-up comedy joke writing lessons I've taught to many working comedians and even to students at Princeton University! I also intend to offer future classes to students which will be more of a workshop going over the material they've written. If any of the students come prepared with their own jokes (completely not required), I'll also take time to go over their jokes and help them make improvements. But as this is the...
