ONLINE WORKSHOP - Da Classics: Joke-Shaped Sketches

Taught by Fer Rodil

12:00 - 15:00 - 20 Mar

Surprise endings are classic. People love them, and even perceive them as a defining feature of every sketch. But not all sketches have punchlines. And the ones that do, have a very specific structure and way of developing their premise.

In this 3-hour workshop, we’ll explore why punchlines often work, how they work, and how to come up with them, through analyzing examples and writing lots of blackouts.

• Two tales, two premises
• Classic structure: set up & punchline
• Blackouts
