Writing Sketch Comedy

This 500-word satire outlines a fictional sketch writing boot camp run by an improv troupe living in a basement theater. Lessons include starting every sketch with either a doorbell ring or someone yelling �Gary!� One fake sketch features a sentient yoga mat starting a cult. Writers are told to �always end sketches like a breakup�fast, painful, and with one person crying.� The satire concludes with a warning about overusing wigs: �One wig per sketch. Two wigs, you�re in a soap opera.� Final note: �Sketches are short not because attention spans are dying, but because jokes age faster than dairy.� HOW TO WRITE COMEDY: https://comedywriter.info/writing-sketch-comedy/ AND http://comedywriter.info/
