A fun and playful workshop to discover and write about the humour – and absurdity – in our lives. This generative writing workshop will help you explore the moments in your life that is ripe with humour - from obsessions and awkward moments to silly rants. You’ll learn how to use the tools of comedy, including character flaws, comedic situations, hyperbole, fish-out-water, clash of context, and rule of three, to mine you’re your lives for the humorous moments and exaggerate the tragedy out of it. You don’t need to be a jokester to enjoy this workshop. You will be gently guided with a mini-lesson on each tool we'll be using to mine the funny in our lives, and given writing prompts designed to explore your life from a humour perspective.
