- Book 3 of 4: How to Write Funny
Harness the power of a funny group of writers like the pros do on legendary TV shows like SNL or The Simpsons, or at comedy institutions like The Onion.
Scott Dikkers will show you how it’s done. He’s co-founder and longest-serving editor-in-chief of The Onion, the world’s most popular humor publication, and founder of The Onion Training Center at the Second City in Chicago. He’s also a #1 best-selling humor author and winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor.
In How to Write Funniest, he lays out the simple steps to make your satire writing, humor writing, funny stories or stand-up material the funniest it can possibly be by leveraging the brain power of a writers’ room.
But that’s just the beginning. How do you lead a team of comedy writers, which insiders often say is like “herding cats”? How do you defeat stage fright, and what is the most powerful tool in comedy?
It's all in How to Write Funniest, the third book in the How to Write Funny series.
Writers Scott has mentored, trained, or hired for their first comedy-writing job have gone on to win several Emmy Awards, written Academy Award-winning movies, and become best-selling authors.
