Kevin McDonald, renowned comedian and actor, is returning to Pensacola to host two exclusive sketch comedy workshops. The first workshop, titled "One Line Premise Writing," will take place on Saturday, December 16th at the prestigious Calliope Films Production Studio. This workshop focuses on the art of crafting a compelling comedy sketch premise. Participants are required to bring their own one line premise, such as "What if a guy was $10 short of being a millionaire?" During the workshop, Kevin and the group will deconstruct each premise, providing valuable insights and coaching on how to transform it into a fully-fledged scene. It's important to note that this is strictly a writing workshop, and no improvisation or performance will occur. With a maximum capacity of 16 students, spaces are limited.
On Sunday, December 17th, join Kevin for his latest performance workshop, "Squeezing Comedy from Improv," also held at the esteemed Calliope Films Production Studio. This workshop takes a unique approach to sketch writing, incorporating improvisation techniques. Kevin will guide groups of 4 students through improvised scenes, exploring how to extract comedic gold from these spontaneous moments. Together, they will analyze each scene, discussing ways to enhance the humor, develop characters, and construct a compelling narrative. Participants will then have the opportunity to refine their scenes into fully-prepared comedy sketches, followed by individual performances and feedback from Kevin. Similar to the previous workshop, "Squeezing Comedy from Improv" has a maximum capacity of 16 students.
Don't miss the chance to learn from one of the industry's finest comedic minds. Secure your spot in these exclusive workshops by Kevin McDonald and elevate your sketch comedy skills. Tickets for each workshop are priced at $150. Join Kevin in Pensacola on December 16th and 17th at the Calliope Films Video Production Company located at 501 East Gadsden Street, Pensacola, FL 32501.
