Sketchfest Seattle Announces Women Only Sketch Comedy Intensive 9/21-26

Hello ladies, sick of always playing the bitchy girlfriend, stupid mom, or dead hooker? Perhaps you'd like to write for yourself and others but haven't had the excuse? Well, here ya go...

Write and perform your own material with other funny women at Sketchfest Seattle's Women Only Sketch Comedy Intensive, a six-day series of two and a half-hour workshops held during SketchFest Seattle (Sept. 21-26), which will culminate in a performance on the final Saturday of the fest (Sept. 26). All women are welcome, regardless of experience level in theater or comedy.

Throughout the workshop participants will write, direct, and act in their own sketches - short, funny, rehearsed pieces in which you craft interesting, entertaining and (hopefully) humorous stories. Feel free to bring in previous writing to work with.

This is not necessarily about making "women's comedy", it is about women making comedy. Who knows, maybe you'll meet your own sketch group and save the state of sketch from the Whitest Kids U Know?!

This workshop is facilitated by sketch comedian and performing artist, Becky Poole, who has toured internationally with critically acclaimed all female sketch comedy groups MEAT (NYC) and Becky & Noelle (Seattle/NYC).
