Private coaching for stylized comedic character & physical humor development. “Sketch Comedy” refers to short scenes, sketches, between one to ten minutes designed for stage, radio, or television. Comics perform characters in absurd and ridiculous manners. Impressions are exaggerated to induce audience laughter. An example of this acting style is what you would see on “Saturday Night Live.” This “over-the-top” expression is a craft best constructed from observation. A good comic will be able to impersonate many characters. Writing is strongly encouraged for further performance development.
