Comedy Masterclass is a podcast where Danielle Krage set out to interview 52 creators about the craft of writing comedy. The conversations span story, structure, characters, considerations for different media, and much more.

If you’re looking for a story-character-combination you could start with:
Ep 2# Chris Head: Comedy Tools and Frameworks
Ep 5# John Vorhaus: A Comic Toolbox
Ep 14# John Truby: Story Code and Beats

(Or dive in and follow your nose/ears. All good.)   

Danielle is a writer herself, who originally trained in theatre. (She accidentally trained as a mime in Paris, but then realised that she really loves words!) She takes being a human and writing comedy ridiculously seriously.

You can find out more about Danielle and and her writing projects here. And subscribe to her Seriously Ridiculous Newsletter for comedy insights, practical prompts and recommendations.
