The Co-Creator of Black Books and The IT Crowd Is Premiering His Comedy Writing Workshop in Australia
Learn how to craft gags from a British sitcom master.
The man behind some of Britain's best sitcoms is coming to Australia to share his expertise with the country's aspiring comedy writers. Best known for writing and co-creating Black Books, The IT Crowd, Father Ted and Big Train, Graham Linehan is heading to our shores to debut his one-day workshop Insights Into The Art Of TV Comedy Writing.
In a world first, the six-hour sessions will give eager funny folk the chance to learn from the five-time BAFTA winner, with two classes taking place on June 17 and 18 at Melbourne's Wheeler Centre, and a further two being held on June 23 and 24 at Sydney's Darlinghurst Theatre. Tickets range from $99 to $219, including both morning and afternoon tea, with limited spots available.
Attendees will learn more than simply turning computers off and on again — or the fact that some ovens can cook anything. According to Lineham, figuring out comedy "is something I've been trying to do for the last twenty five years and I'm hoping that I've gained enough insights into my own process that I won't actually mess yours up too much."
Graham Linehan's Insights Into The Art Of TV Comedy Writing takes place on June 17 and 18 at Melbourne's Wheeler Centre, and June 23 and 24 at Sydney's Darlinghurst Theatre. Early bird ticket sales commence at midday on April 16, with general public sales kicking off at 1pm on April 17. Visit the Frontier Comedy website for further information.
