Working on a TV comedy sounds like an absolute dream! And for many TV comedy writers, working on someone else's show is a critical first step for writers who want to create and manage their own comedy one day. But before you can get a job as a staff writer, you have to have a really good comedy sample in your portfolio.

This 90 Minute Webinar Will Cover:
- Style rules
- Concept, content and story
- Characters
- Structure
- Punch ups and jokes
- Live Q&A
