Doors at 7:00 PM || Writing at 7:30 PM || FREE Creative Experience
Please bring: Your sense of humor, something to write on, and something to write with!

Participants get a complimentary beverage or a drink coupon for a future Sherbino program, because comedy should be loose, not thirsty!

Looking to stretch your creative muscles? Just want some free funny on a Wednesday night? You’re in luck! The Sherbino is launching a brand-new program: Sherbino Writers Room: Sketch Comedy!

Led by long-time Sherbino Night Live writer and local comedic comrade Lexi Trachy, this drop-in writing group welcomes anyone interested in writing (or just laughing through) sketch comedy. Whether you’re a seasoned joke-slinger or just sketch-curious, no experience is necessary; everyone is welcome!

Meetings will take place twice a month on Wednesdays, from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM.

What to expect from a Writers Room session:

• Table reads of group work  
• Group idea sharing and editing
• Brainstorming games and inspiration exercises
• Collaborative idea-sharing
• Laughs (hopefully)

What’s the end goal? That’s up to the group! Maybe it’s reviving Sherbino Night Live. Maybe it’s developing a shared curriculum for “real learning” and honing the craft. Or perhaps it’s just creating hilarious sketches for fun. 

Let’s get writing. Let’s get weird. Let’s get funny again.

HOMEWORK SET AT PREVIOUS SESSION:

• Create and fully develop a character.
  Think deeply about:
  • Their personality traits
  • Background and quirks
  • Profession or daily habits
  • What kind of situations they naturally find themselves in
  • What makes them funny, unusual, or endearing
  • How they might evolve in different sketch contexts

Everyone is to continue developing their character for next week

• Refine backstory, goals, quirks, and potential sketch angles
• Optional: Think about what your character might be hiding or trying to get away with
