This Friday and Saturday, workshop your sketches and perform with sketch comedy legend Kevin McDonald of Kids in the Hall, Kevin McDonald's Kevin McDonald Show, Saturday Night Live and more. 

This one of a kind, two-day workshop will include YOUR sketches performed in a live show! THERE ARE ONLY FOUR SLOTS LEFT!

Kevin will teach everyone how to run a writers room, rehearse and perform sketches, all leading up to a live performance.

 Kevin invites everyone in the workshop to bring one scripted comedy sketch. Everyone will read their sketches and give notes. Sketches will be re-written, worked on and given notes again. He will pick 5 or 6 sketches, split the class into groups, guide everyone in a rehearsal, and help make them into fully formed sketches.

What you get: You get to work one-on-one with Kevin McDonald as well as your fellow participants to workshop your sketch. You'll receive practical advice on sketch writing, specific workshopping tips and guidance to help make your comedy sketch the best it can be.
