Join us for this 11 week online course for a fast, practical deep‑dive into writing comedy for the screen across seven of the most powerful subgenres: horror, romantic, sci‑fi/fantasy, action, satirical, location, and musical comedy.
We recommend that each week will require approximately four hours of study which can be done at your own pace at a time that suits you.
Alongside this self-paced study there are live webinars and 1:1 tutorials with timings below.
When
Online course: Monday 18th May - Sunday 2nd August 2026
All activities in this course are self-paced so you can fit the course in around your commitments, and you will have access to the course for a further 4-weeks after the end date. We suggest that you allow around 4 hours per week of study on top of the live webinars and drop-in sessions below.
