Event Description
How to Make Your First Billion Writing Satire

At last, a masterclass for people who want to be incredibly rich. 


Comedy writing is a dreary affair of unimaginable pain and suffering. But it’s a good way to get incredibly rich quickly. Sure, writing a novel or a play or a blockbuster movie might be more psychologically satisfying, but only comedy writing can buy you a harbour-side mansion next to the Prime Minister’s residence.


If you’ve tried investment banking or stock trading and are dissatisfied with your seven-figure base salary, perhaps you should quit your career and instead concentrate on the big bucks of writing comedy for a living.


This course gives you all the tips and tricks that you need to quit your day job. Includes a look at the technical side of comedy, as well as tips on what to do with the mountains of cash that you’ll have to wade through each morning.


What to expect


60 minute workshop, divided into three segments:



  • The rules of comedy

  • The philosophy of satire

  • Making billions from writing comedy: the pros and cons


There will be small group discussion during each segment, and a Q&A will happen at the end of each segment. If we have time at the end, we will have a plenary discussion on the topic: “What are the ethics of using sweat-shop workers to write your comedy?”


Who is it for


Anyone who is poor because they made the wrong career choices


What you’ll need to participate
