Far be it from me to plug my close rival but when I started out in comedy in the 80s this guy did more than anyone to encourage and push me. I've never been to his classes but he's a funny guy with great credits and he taught me loads when I began writing.
"Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th October 2009
Lectures about writing are like poems about swimming: they may be inspiring but they don't improve your technique. The only way to learn how to write is by writing.
This course isn't fatal but it is hard work. Over the weekend you'll participate in intensive, practical exercises that are designed to develop the basic skills you need to make your material funny in any format or medium you're writing for: film, television, radio, theatre, stand-up, or print.
