Use the craft of improv to generate material for scripts. Whether you are interested in working on sketch, stand up or characters, improv is an excellent way to collaborate and generate material. Mort and George will help you differentiate what gets laughs because of the quick timing of improv vs what has legs to work in a scripted format. They will give you some tools for writing as well as some basic structure and formatting to use while writing your scripted material.

George McAuliffe is a writer, musician & actor. His tv & film credits include PEN15 & Let’s Start A Cult. George is currently developing a TV show with Judd Apatow but would have to kill you if he gave more details. He may or may not have CTE from division 3 football. Unfortunately you can’t test until after death so let’s just call him a tortured artist for now.
