Learn to create hilarious characters with one of the best sketch comedians in Brisbane!

Characters are the best part of sketch comedy - and characters are a great way to perform solo sketch! But how do you get started - what makes a character memorable? What makes their jokes work? How do you keep the momentum when it’s just you on stage?

This workshop focuses on giving hands on experience with idea generation from various angles, character creation, and by the end you will have a character monologue ready for the stage.
