Sketch Coven Meetup for Writers and Actors

Sketch Coven is a meetup and workshop for sketch comedians. Each month, we get together at Kickstand Comedy to read scripts in progress, give supportive feedback, and help develop a fun, vibrant sketch community here in Portland.

NOTE: This meeting will take place off site at 21ten Theatre 2110 SE 10th Ave

Click to sign up as a writer, actor, or just to observe and meet new people.

Writers bring drafts of their work for the group, including actors and acting-curious improvisers, to table read. Facilitators will provide feedback, then open discussion.

Whether you have a completed script, a rough draft, or just a loose concept you'd like to flesh out, Sketch Coven is a place to develop your sketch skills – don't be shy!

We prioritize scripts from first timers and revised drafts of sketches we've read at previous meetings. Expect to only have one script read, but feel free to bring more. We'll do our best to get through as many as we can in the time we have.

Every 4th Saturday of the month.

Suggested donation is $10 to support this and other Kickstand programs. Payment/ticket purchase is not required to attend, but please be sure to RSVP with your info.

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A SKETCH CLASS OR SHOW. While we want this to be a constructive experience for everyone, Sketch Coven doesn't teach a set curriculum. If you're looking to learn the basics of sketch writing, we recommend you take Kickstand's classes

Laughs for All: As part of our mission towards access to comedy, we offer 10% of tickets at a discounted rate to make it more affordable for those who otherwise would not be able to attend. These tickets are first come, first served, so we recommend buying them online ahead of time, and any remaining will be sold at the door.
