One Day Comedy Writing Course With Logan Murray - Author of 'Get Started in Stand Up Comedy'.
'There is no such thing as a bad joke, just an underdeveloped joke'.

Do you want to learn the basic principles of comedy?
Would you like to learn how easy it is to discover funny ideas? Would you like tips for transforming a mildly amusing idea into something laugh out loud funny? Then this taster into the world of comedy writing could be for you! From finding your creative inspiration to learning the building blocks of jokes, this workshop will help you become a better writer and performer.

The day will cover the basics of comic grammar, including afterthought, attitude, misunderstanding for comic effect, saying one thing but revealing another and – perhaps most importantly – how to mine one subject for many different comic ideas). The workshop leader, Logan Murray, will concentrate on three main areas: Exercises designed at encouraging creativity, Comic Grammar and ways of developing your own comic style. By the end of the workshops, you will have a method for crafting jokes and a clear understanding on how to make a good idea better.
