Now that we know the art of story telling you will learn several more styles of comedy like one liners, observational, wordplay, character, current events, and crowd work to name a few.Week 4, Writing Jokes: Let’s get writing! Now that you have picked a style of comedy you are interested in, you will start crafting your first five minutes.
