How to Write Sketch and Standup Comedy with the Fast and Funny Formula
Saturday, November 14 – 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (1 DAY SESSION)
Lessons culled from Kerr’s book: “Build To Laugh: How to Write Sketch Comedy with the Fast and Funny Formula,” will come to life during this class, where students discover the various reasons/categories of what makes people laugh and how to tap into one’s comedic “brand.” Students will also learn how to harness their comedic voice and write to their satirical points of view. Lessons enable students to build a sketch from scratch to the big finish!

How to Prepare and Pitch Yourself to Seek Talent Agency Representation
Saturday, December 12 – 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (1 DAY SESSION)
The Orange County Crazies is often asked by its students what to do to get themselves out into the comedy world to get gigs and move their comedy career and pursuits forward. Especially those who have studied and honed their skills at the Crazies and who feel they are ready to venture out. On Saturday morning, December 12, 2026 from 9 a.m. to noon, Artistic Director, Cherie Kerr, will lay out the steps (and items needed) to help you reach out to seek representation. Class will be held at the De Pietro Performance Center inside the main theater space. We are opening enrollment this week. Please plan to bring a device or notepad with which to take notes (there will be no handouts!). You may also bring any current materials you have in the works for pitching purposes as we plan to have a short segment during the workshop to evaluate and critique some of them and offer suggestions.
