Comedy Writing Course details for
Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th February 2010
Our Weekend Course begins at 9.30am on Saturday 27th February with coffee and finishes around 5 pm. On Sunday we start at 10 am.
This course is open to everyone who loves comedy. It's 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. It’s 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 Weekend Course on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th February 2010 is £160.00 which includes morning coffee, lunch and afternoon tea.
