This two day workshop is for anyone who has ever thought about writing sketch comedy for stage or television. If you've got the ideas and want to know how to build a sketch, this class is for you. This class will demystify what an SNL sketch looks like, what a "packet" for SNL or MAD TV consists of and what "readers" are looking for in a "packet." The class will focus on a commercial parody which you will bring to the first class and two person/5 page sketches for the second day. As one of the only former SNL writers teaching in the country, Ali will give you a clear concise point of view of someone who has been in the belly of the beast in a fun and nurturing environment. Ali has taught this class to over 1000 people, some of which have gone on to work for SNL, MAD TV, The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Letterman, VH1 and MTV (This class limited to 12 people)
