Comedy Writing Consultation

35


35 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Sep 20, 2017

I will teach you the fundamentals of comedy writing and give you some tips and tricks to help you write your first standup comedy set! This service works best if you already have some material ready and want feedback and guidance. If you're not even sure what you want to joke about, we can set up an interview, and I can do some digging and point you in the right direction!

Even if you're not interested in performing at open mics or traditional standup comedy venues, I can help translate material from your life into setups and punchlines. This way you will have original jokes and stories that you can use at parties, events, speeches, or anywhere you want to tell jokes! I believe the true value in comedy writing is adapting the mindset of a comedian.

The more you write and think about comedy, the more you will see it! Everywhere you go!

I truly believe if you can find the funny in your life, you can get through anything.

Training & Qualifications


I have been performing standup comedy off and on for the last 5 years, performing and teaching improvisational comedy for 9 years, and performing and writing music for 15 years. (Songwriting has more in common than joke writing than you would guess). Additionally, I have been a writer my whole life and write for a living.

I currently live in Richmond, and although I haven't performed in awhile, I still love writing jokes and helping others find the funny.

Availability & Preferences


I'm available for chats most days after 5pm

Trading Preference: I prefer exchanging services

About Michael Boothby

Hey there! My name's Michael. I'm a writer, coach, comedian, and musician who is addicted to learning, performing, and cultivating creativity in others. I currently live in Richmond, VA. I publishe...d a book in 2019 titled "Message with Purpose: Swipe Dating Simplified" which is all about how to communicate better, express yourself effortlessly, and connect more often with others on dating apps. Mindfulness and breathwork have become big parts of my life. I do workshops where I combine meditation with improvisational theater exercises to help my clients have more confidence and better express themselves. I'm also a Creative Consultant. I love coming up with ideas and shaping them into something tangible. I also love helping others structure their ideas. I'd love to connect and learn more about business and mindfulness/healing modalities. I prefer to exchange services instead of Simbi. I enjoy helping people discover the funny side of their personality and life and try to live my life from a fun and playful place. I can't wait to meet you and grow with you :)show more
