Now that you’ve caught the sketch comedy-writing bug and you have a foundation of skills to build off of, it’s time to crank it up a notch. In The Tools Class you’ll be taught how to develop, and improve your process as a comedic writer in order to get laughs of any situation and maximize your writing potential by learning the P.U.N.C.H method.

We’ll also watch Videos of some of the greatest sketches ever writing and we’ll workshop the sketches you have written in previous KML writing classes. The skills you learn from this method will help you to write for many different types of sketches including: character-based sketches, genre sketches, topical sketches, and parodies. All KML writing students are encouraged to enroll (and re-enroll) in this class because you’ll learn to really finesse your sketches and learn to create well-rounded characters and situations.

Students of all levels are encouraged to apply!

For the past few years, we’ve taught folks of all experience levels the fine, fun, and fantastic art of writing sketch comedy. KML Sketch Writing 1 is a great way to put your funny into words. You’ll learn the fundamentals of sketch writing as well as techniques for developing your comedic voice. You’ll practice short form comedic writing of all kinds and work with your classmates to create a full-length, themed sketch comedy class script-in-hand reading performed by KML actors.

This class is open to writers of any experience level, and promises to create an environment where all ideas and perspectives are welcome. Expect a supportive, encouraging, and hilarious atmosphere.

Limit of 10 students per class.
Please note: There are 6 classes spread over 7 weeks with a “skip week” for students to work on rewrites.

Hey there cool kids! Yeah you; sitting at the cool table.  Are you the class clown?  Do you make inappropriate jokes at inappropriate times?  Or maybe you just want to do something hella fun this summer. Either way, come play with KML this June for a Sketch Comedy class. You’ll learn how to hone your acting skills and develop great comedic timing.  We’ll work on communication in scene work, spontaneity, collaboration, and physical comedy.  The last class will be a performance showcasing all of our work.
