So for those of you who don't know, I have a tenuous connection to Terry Jones (of Monty Python). The short of it is that my father's good law school friend from Vanderbilt is friends with Mr. Jones. I've met him a couple times, and he's taken a friendly (but at times a little patronizing I suspect) interest in my comedy career.
BUT! He's going to be in Philadelphia three weeks from now, and I managed to ask him if he would be willing to teach a comedy workshop. He said yes, on the condition that it wasn't anything he'd have to do any prep work for. So I suggested playing sketchy characters, which we all know he's great at. Thus, I am happy to present to interested parties:
The Terry Jones Workshop on Being Sketchy
Saturday, April 24th
The Arts Parlor, 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm
$25 in cash at the door
15 spots
Mr. Jones will be leading a workshop on walking the line between sketchy and unsettling, and getting the most comedic mileage out of your ability to be sketchy. To reserve your spot, shoot me an e-mail or IRC message with an anecdote about a time you were sketchy to good effect, or a time when being sketchy gave you some insight into a comedic moment.
