Back to All Events
Every day, somebody sees a crazy story in the news and asks me:
"How would The Onion handle this?"
The answer is almost never what people expect.
Writing satire based on news isn't necessarily responding to the news. It's about finding the hidden ideas underneath.
Wednesday night, I'll be teaming up with Marc Warzecha, founder of The Sketch School and former Head Writer and Artistic Director of The Second City, for a free workshop on exactly that topic.
We'll share some of the tools and techniques the pros use to turn current events into comedy.
Whether you're interested in Onion-style headlines, political satire, late-night jokes, or sketch comedy, I know you'll find ideas you can use immediately.
