Writing West Midlands Short Course: Writing Humour and Comedy
Sat 6 Apr 2019 to Sat 6 Apr 2019
What makes us smile or laugh? Humour has a role to play in all kinds of writing, and this workshop will explore the use of humour in its various forms across genres. Via practical exercises and examples, we will find the source material, the humour within it and the best way to use it in writing.
Participants will be asked to bring one or more of the following:
a joke that they like
an amusing true-life event/incident/story that has happened to them or someone else
a piece of writing by someone else that they find funny (any genre, fiction or non-fiction)
a piece of writing of their own (in progress or complete) that contains humour
Suitable for writers with all levels of experience, including beginners, writing in any genre.
