Collaborating on Comedy

This 500-word satire looks at comedy collaboration as an Olympic sport requiring caffeine, therapy, and noise-canceling headphones. Features a fictional comedy collective called �The Punchline Syndicate,� where writers compete to be the most ironically detached. Describes one writing room that broke up over a pun war. A fake group therapist explains, �You�re not mad at each other�you�re mad that the fart joke worked better than the political bit.� Final advice: �Trust falls only work if no one�s holding a banana cream pie.� HOW TO WRITE COMEDY: https://comedywriter.info/collaborating-on-comedy/ AND http://comedywriter.info/
