Learn how to identify and break down humor. We will practice juxtaposing words to create funny lists, use the element of surprise to tickle a reader's sense of humor, and play with words by using techniques that stand-up comedians use.

Exercise your wit with new skills, make others laugh, and be entertained.

This class meets once for one hour in webinar format. Video/microphones are not required to participate. No advance preparation is required for this class.
