“Sketch from Improv” Workshop | Saturday, August 24 | 10:30am-2:30pm

In this 4-hour workshop, students explore the art of turning improvisational scenes into polished comedy sketches.

“One-Line Premise” Workshop | Sunday, August 25 | 10:30am-2:30pm 

In this workshop, students will dive deep into the world of comedy writing, focusing on crafting hilarious sketches from one-line premises. Each student must bring their own one-line premise for a comedy sketch, such as "What if a guy was $10 short of being a millionaire?" Together, you'll dissect each premise, exploring its comedic potential and brainstorming ideas to flesh it out into a full scene. With Kevin McDonald's expert guidance, students will learn how to structure scenes, develop comedic characters, and build engaging storylines. This workshop is a writing workshop – students will not be improvising or performing. 18+ only. Maximum capacity: 16. Tickets: $150 at www.theimprovcentre.ca
