I just noticed this one the WLT page. I've taken a bunch of workshops through the Writers League and can vouch for their value. Does anyone know this guy?
Workshop #7
COMEDY WORKSHOP: MAKING MONEY WITH HUMOR with Dan French
Saturday, March 3, 2007
10 AM -1 PM
**St. Edward's University (room TBA)
Class Limit: 40
Deadline for registration: Friday, February 23, 2007
Lots of people are convinced that they are pretty funny, or, if they aren't exactly funny out loud, that they can at least write funny stuff. But few of these people ever actually figure out how to turn their self-observed talent for humor into warm, soft cash.
This workshop will show you how to go about making money for creating comedy. It will serve as a broad introduction to professional venues that pay for humor, either as a full-time job or a freelance gig, across formats that include standup comedy, daily joke writing, column or essay writing, television talk show staffing, sitcom staffing, and film writing and punch-up work.
The workshop is taught by Dan French, a 20-year veteran of the comedy wars. Dan is an Emmy-nominated comedy writer, with TV staff credits including The Late, Late Show at CBS, Dennis Miller and The Best Damn Sports Show Period. He also writes for numerous nationally known standup comedians, performs standup himself, and is the co-creator of the comedy website and social community, SmallTownNation.com.
He currently resides in both Austin and Los Angeles. Depending on when you catch him. If you can catch him. Why are you trying so hard to catch him?
Cost: $49 members / $89 nonmembers
