Comedy Writing Course details for
Sunday 26th September and Saturday 30th October 2010
Both our One Day Courses start at 9.30am and finish at 5.00pm
These courses are open to everyone who loves comedy. They're for those who write professionally and want to extend their range, to those who simply have a love of comedy and want to learn more. They're also for those looking for the way to make the break into full time writing, or currently in a very different profession, and simply testing the ground to see if comedy is for them.
We keep our classes to a limited number in order to ensure that everyone who attends gets as much personal attention as possible. All we ask you to bring is a notebook, and before the course begins - but only if you feel like it - to submit anything you’ve written, so that we have an idea of what you do.
Fee
The fee for our each of our One Day Courses is £100 - which includes morning coffee, lunch and afternoon tea, but if you book for both One Day Courses at the same time, then we are happy to offer a 10% reduction.
