This accessible and engaging text covering sketch, sitcom and
comedy drama, alongside improvisation and stand-up, brings together
a panoply of tools and techniques for creating short and long-form
comedy narratives for live performance, TV and online. Referencing
a broad range of comedy from both sides of the Atlantic, spanning
several decades and including material on contemporary internet
sketches, it offers all kinds of useful advice on creating comic
narratives for stage and screen: using life experience as raw
material; constructing comedy worlds; creating comic characters,
their relationships and interactions; structuring sketches, scenes
and routines; and developing and plotting stories. The book's
interviewees, from the UK and the USA, feature stand-ups, sketch
comics, improvisers and TV comedy producers, and include Steve
Kaplan, Hollywood comedy guru and author of The Hidden Tools of
Comedy, Will Hines teacher and improviser from the Upright Citizens
Brigade Theatre and Lucy Lumsden TV producer and former Controller
of Comedy Commissioning for BBC. Written by "the ideal person to
nurture new talent" (The Guardian), Creating Comedy Narratives for
Stage & Screen includes material you won't find anywhere else
and is a stimulating resource for comedy students and their
teachers, with a range and a depth that will be appreciated by even
the most eclectic and multi-hyphenated writers and performers.
