This workshop has started or is in the past.

Class Description: Bigtime sketch nerds Nate Smith and Geoff Garlock go over a basic plan for writing a sketch. If you write sketch or want to do it, this is for you! Free. It's more of a lecture than a class, but there will be time for some Q&A also. Also check out these guys insane podcast "What's That From?" in which they just ask each other if they remember sketches for an hour each episode.
