“The Craft and Art of Comedy Writing” Panel

JULY 30, SparkFest

“The Craft and Art of Comedy Writing” Panel

Writing funny is hard. Like, really really hard. How hard? Nothing I’ve written so far is funny, and I tried really, REALLY hard. If you also need help in this area then join us for an industry panel only at Amphibian Stage. Three professional comedic writers and performers, Paul Varghese, Julia Cotton, and Ashley Ray, explain their journey from notebooks and open mics to being featured on HBO, Comedy Central, NBC, ABC, Adult Swim, VICE and Cosmopolitan.
