COMEDY GENRE

Movie comedy isn't small, it's big. Two hours long. Think of writing movie comedy as building an extension bridge. You've got to extend a line over a huge distance. That story line is what you hang your jokes on. Without a strong comic story line, even the best jokes will fall flat.

Movie comedy is about comedy structures. Comedy in general differs from serious drama in how the story is told. But even more so, comedy has at least seven different structures, each with very different story beats from the others.

This course is among the most popular at Truby's Writers Studio because it gives you all the techniques. We guarantee you won't find a third of them anywhere else. This is a monster course, covering comic characters, movie comedy structures, all the beats of the major comedy sub-genres, comedy dialogue and much, much more.
