Sketch Comedy Writing

What makes us different is our objective: we are not primarily devoted to exclusively developing your comedy skills so you can compete in Hollywood.

We teach comedy so your skills on-stage transfer to your life off-stage.

That’s why we draw on best practices from professional improv and standup comedy, academic psychology, and business communication.
