Win a place on a top stand-up writing workshop

Led by Doug Anthony Allstars comic Tim Ferguson

One of the most respected names in Australian comedy has become a sought-after writing guru – and we have three tickets to give away to his next online course.

Tim Ferguson made his name as a member of Edinburgh Fringe favourites The Doug Anthony All-Stars, before becoming a major TV star down under, including hosting the local version of Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush.

His writing credits include the feature film The BBQ, his autobiography Carry A Big Stick: A Life Of Laughter, Friendship And MS, script editing the Australian sitcom Ricketts Lane, starring Sammy J and Randy, and the acclaimed how-to guide about writing narrative comedy, The Cheeky Monkey.

In his next online session, Ferguson is turning his attention to stand-up, sharing simple writing principles that professions use to generate and sharpen their material. Rather than being a  formula or rules, he describes them as ‘the unseen principles that underpin all comedy’.

The two-hour workshop takes place on Sunday September 6, from 10am UK time, priced just under £20. Loading…">Click here for more details.

Good luck!
