WORKSHOP: How to write comedy festival reviews

How amazing would it be if there were enough positive creative reviewers in Melbourne that every indie show could be reviewed!

There may not be many ways to get paid and published as a reviewer but there are ways to self publish and get read. And don't forget that we don't have to communicate in old-fashioned words any more.

This workshop is for anyone who has thought about reviewing and sharing their opinions about shows. If you see a lot of shows, you will have some opinions that other people will want to hear.

And it's for those who have started reviewing and want to develop their writing skills and get more readers. It's especially good if you have lots of ideas and don't know how to structure them.

It's relevant for all types of reviewing but there's a focus on comedy and how to write about "funny".  Hint: it's not about punching down. Ever.

They are also fun, and hanging out in The Butterfly Club with a cocktail is more fun than being in a classroom.

If you go to theatre a lot and have ever thought about writing about it or sharing your love, come along. If you don't where to start, come along. If you've started and want to write reviews that more people read, come along. If you have lots of ideas and don't know how to structure them, come along.

PS: How amazing would it be if I got a new head shot (which was taken by the amazing Sarah Collins).
