Comedic Writing with Simon Taylor

Humour is powerful! Used by important people from Bugs Bunny to Barack Obama, comedy is an integral part of effective writing. Whether it’s a press conference, an editorial, a debate, a novel, or any literary medium, humour is an effective tool to elevate your writing and break the ice.

In this workshop, you’ll get the opportunity to learn with one of Australia’s foremost comedians, Simon Taylor. We’ll cover a wide range of joke-writing formulas, a systematic approach to writing comedy about any topic, how to write in different comedic voices, integrating humour into relevant writing assignments and how comedy can be used to communicate ideas effectively.
