What’s Funny with Jacob Womack

In this workshop we will work on premise initiations, responses, and how we play the joke together. How quickly can we agree on the foundation of ideas, so we can get into what’s funny? We will work on starting from a grounded place so we can take our scenes from fact, to fiction, to anywhere we want them to go, that’s funny.
