Writing Sketch Comedy

This 500-word satire explores the world of sketch comedy, where absurd premises are considered �culturally relevant� if performed in wigs. It opens with a fictional sketch-writing bootcamp run by a mime who only speaks in explosions. Writers are advised to start every sketch with a question like, �What if Abraham Lincoln sold vape pens?� The article lampoons recurring character tropes such as �The Overly Confident Lobster� and �Guy Who Thinks Alexa Is His Wife.� A fake sketch goes viral for featuring a courtroom trial of a burrito accused of sedition. The piece ends with a parody industry tip: �If it ends with someone screaming in Old English while wearing Crocs, you�re doing it right.� HOW TO WRITE COMEDY: https://comedywriter.info/writing-sketch-comedy/ AND http://comedywriter.info/
