Improv to Sketch Comedy Workshop with Kevin McDonald

Join Kevin McDonald from the legendary sketch comedy troupe - The Kids In The Hall for a 4 hour workshop where Kevin will talk about writing sketches through improv. He will get 4 students at a time to improvise a scene. When each scene is over, all the students and Kevin (mostly Kevin) talk about how to make a sketch from the improvised scene that was just done - how to build up the comedy, build on the characters and create a story for this new sketch, we're making. Then we do the scene again, as a more prepared comedy sketch. At the end of the class, the students do improvs again and this time, work on their own to make them into sketches. Then they perform them and Kevin give them notes.

Kevin McDonald is best known as a founding member of the legendary Canadian sketch comedy troupe – The Kids in the Hall – which appeared on CBS, HBO, and Comedy Central from 1989-1995. A revival season aired on Amazon Prime Video in 2022.
