In this 3-hour workshop, Emmy-nominated writer/performer for Late Night with Seth Meyers, Jenny Hagel, will teach students about one of the most challenging styles of late night writing: the monologue joke. Jenny will break down the structure of monologue jokes, share joke-writing techniques, and reveal what makes a good joke (and what doesn't!). Then students will try their hand at writing jokes themselves. The workshop will end with a Q&A, where students will have a chance to ask Jenny questions about the world of late night writing.

BUNDLE YOUR REGISTRATION WITH JENNY'S HILARIOUS SHOW JENNY GIVES ADVICE AND SAVE 50% ON YOUR TICKET. MORE INFO HERE:

Jenny Hagel loves two things: comedy and telling people what to do. In her live show "Jenny Hagel Gives Advice," she gets to do both at the same time! Jenny invites audience members to submit written questions about their relationships, careers, and finances. Then Jenny and a special guest give their best, most professional (not professional at all) life advice. At the end of the show, Jenny invites a real live therapist on stage to tell her and her guest star if they did a good job - or if the audience should totally ignore all of the advice they heard over the past hour. "Jenny Hagel Gives Advice" is more than just a comedy show - it's a hilarious, interactive way to watch a skilled comedian fix and/or ruin a bunch of strangers' lives!

SUNDAY, NOV. 16th
