About
Sketchworks Comedy offers classes in Sketch Acting and Sketch Writing. Students learn how to develop over the top, believable characters, physical comedy, and of course comedic timing. We utilize a variety of improv exercises to help students loosen up, think of their feet, the "don't think, just do" appoach and trusting oneself in making decisions. The work we do with students culminates in a live, scripted sketch comedy showcase.
Founded in 2001, Sketchworks Comedy features some of Atlanta’s top working comedy writers and performers. Sketchworks Comedy’s current cast and alumni have gone on to write for network TV show and perform in film, television, and stage productions. As opposed to unscripted improv, Sketchworks Comedy performs short, written sketches and films, and celebrates comedy writers every bit as much as comic actors. The format of a Sketchworks Comedy show is similar to Saturday Night Live or MadTV.

Shows can best be described as similar to SNL or MadTV, though our packed houses consistently proclaim it much funnier.
