Comedy meetings aren't like other meetings. We can't stress enough how important it is for TV comedy writers to kill as hard in the room as they do on the page. Yes, you have to have great characters and a killer sample to get you in the door, but now an exec or showrunner needs to see if you're funny, and if you are someone they wanna spend 12 hours a day with in a writers' room.
Roadmap has designed this special two day intensive to give you the tools to own the room or at least not stink it up like the dude who ate fish in the writers' room.
This Special 90 Minute Panel Will Cover:
- Pitching Story and Jokes
- The Importance of "Yes...And"
- General Meeting Skills and Etiquette
- What to Wear (YEP! It matters)
- Reading the Room
- Live Q&A
If you sign up for the full workshop, you will be able to practice either your general meeting skills or your pitch for feedback! **Click the "Workshop" tab on the drop down menu above to see the full schedule and details.
Jack Herrguth is a writer (SISTER, SISTER), executive producer (GALAXY QUEST: IT’S ALL REAL), and entertainment executive (Comedy Central’s NATHAN FOR YOU). He has been successful in digital arenas as well, heading up development for Chris Hardwick's multi-media empire, Nerdist. Jack recently developed the half-hour comedy KILLING IT with Paul Feig.
Joey started in the industry at Bold Films (DRIVE, NIGHTCRAWLER, WHIPLASH) and has read for Hugh Jackman's company, George Clooney's company, and Night and Day Pictures, to name a few. Experiencing how hard it was for writers to receive real tangible advice on how to break into the industry, Joey and Dorian created Roadmap Writers over 7 years ago. At Roadmap, Joey focuses on connecting vetted writers with execs in the industry. He has helped hundreds of writers connect to their representation, get staffed and get produced. He also mentors for Cinestory and The Writers Lab. When he's not helping writers, he spends his time rescuing animals in need.
Spending any time with Joey is well worth it! He has the pulse of the industry and shares this vital information with all his writers. He is one of the most passionate advocates I've ever met and anyone is lucky to be in the same room as Joey Tuccio!
