Sketch Comedy Class
Have you ever had a hilarious idea for a skit? Why was it funny?
Is it funny because of moments of physical comedy or maybe a strange situation or accents?
Have you ever just said… “OK, what if…
A lot of our favorite SNL skits began just like this!
Well put on your thinking caps because Limelight’s high energy Saturday classes will expand those fantastic “what-ifs” into what are called “premises”.
This class will help you narrow down your own comedic likes and dislikes and guide you as you begin to put pen to paper to create and perform sketch comedy.
…And what could be more fun than working on these ideas with other actors in class to create your own hilarious sketches!
