Write Jokes Like a Pro

A joke is just a short story with a surprise ending.

I teach the skills and techniques I've developed over 30+ years as a professional comedy writer. In my workshops, you’ll:

  • Learn to produce quality jokes on demand, on any topic, at any time, whether you're feeling inspired or not.

  • Develop the instincts to think in joke form, organically finding the surprise in every new premise.

  • Uncover trade secrets on how to mine premises for jokes, and build jokes into longer bits and stories.

  • Identify your two POVS - the one you present to the audience, and the one the audience expects from you.
