remedies are prescribed. Video
feedback is then employed to help
make the desired changes in personal
style, speech patterns, body language,

The Craft of Comedy
Writing for Television
"I've learned a few things on my own
0
since and modified some of the things he,
taught me, but everything,
unequivocally, that I learned about
comedy writing, I learned from Danny
Simon."~
Woody Allen (On Being Funny:
Woody Allen and Comedy, by Eric Lax).
. .no, Bob, I don't think it's
possible for someone to teach anyone
else how to write funny - no wrong, I
think perhaps there is ONE person who
can, my brother Danny. He taught
Woody Allen and he taught me."
- Neil Simon (Bob Hope's World of
Comedy, October 1976).
Danny Simon believes comedy
writing is a matter of opinion. In this
workshop he teaches his personal
opinion of what comedy and comedy.
writing are all about, based on over 35
years experience as a professional
comedy writer, director, producer, and
sometime actor.
According to Danny, this class uses a
system of teaching that helps students
" ... understand the TECHNIQUE of
comedy and comedy writing so that
from here on, for the rest of your
career, you can continue to TEACH
YOURSELF". Danny works on the
thought processes that every writer,
comedy or dramatic, must go though in
order to develop each and every script.
He explores such aspects as the joke
itself, and then proceeds to consider
variety shows and situation comedies.
He also creates conditions similar to
what a writer faces in any writer's
conference room, and demonstrates
why it is a must to be able to think and
write "on your feet".
At the end of the course, writing
groups are formed so that participants
can continue to meet and possibly
collaborate with others with whom they
can develop a professional rapport.
