Then on October 23, we’re incredibly proud to present the BIPOC Comedy Writing Workshop! This two-and-a-half-hour online workshop is a space for you to collaborate with other BIPOC creatives. Learn how to establish good writing habits and start to set writing goals for yourself; find your comedic voice and your inspiration; discover what makes others laugh! This workshop is open to BIPOC creatives with a keen interest in writing, or comedy (or both)!
There will be a 30 minute Collaboration Session immediately following the workshop - specifically designed for individual feedback, industry questions and idea sharing.
Start time is 1pm MDT. Limited to 10 participants. No experience necessary. Admission is $30, but please reach out to info@sledisland.com if price is a barrier to participation.
