Humor is a skill that can come in mighty handy – especially since we’re all gonna die. Whether you’re trying to punch up your online dating profile, become an amusing public speaker, write that memoir, craft essays, find success as a stand-up comedian so you can have an excuse to drink all the time (or sleep around), or publish the next (and first ever) Pulitzer Prize winning comic novel, this class is most definitely for you. Class will cover the different types of humor such as irony, sarcasm, satire and parody. Discussions about joke-writing, wordplay, incongruity, exaggeration and reversal will be illustrated with video clips of stand-up comics performing. Exercises and games will be used to enhance natural comic abilities. Fun assignments will help students learn techniques to add humor to their writing. Students will share their work in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. Free extra bonus included if you sign up now -- or at the last minute: it promises to be a lot of fun.
