FREE Workshop: Crafting the Joke

TUESDAY, May 10th @ 7:30PM

With Jeff Lawrence and Joe DeVito!

It’s our pleasure to present to you our next free workshop: “Crafting the Joke”

Most comics are told “just get funny,” but where do you begin to "get funny?" Any comic will tell you that sitting down and actually writing material is one of the hardest parts of this business. What they won't tell you is how they actually do it themselves and how to find an approach that will elevate your act.

At this free workshop, two proven comics will light the way for anyone looking to take their material to another level. "Crafting the Joke" takes an analytical approach to joke writing. Jeff Lawrence and Joe DeVito will focus in on economy of words in writing as well as discipline. The workshop will also include key guidance for those looking to write a stand-up set for TV.  

Speaking will be LBC founder and pro comedian Jeff Lawrence
Guest speaker : Joe DeVito

Topics will include:

• Joke writing
• Economy of Words
• Discipline
• Writing for a TV set
• and much more

light snacks will be provided.
