The Lisbon Comedy Writer’s Room is a comedy writing club that meets twice a month to chat, write, and workshop jokes, bits, and other humor writing.

The Writer’s Room gives comics and humor writers a place to meet away from nerves and nightclubs, hecklers and hot mics, to build community and have some dedicated writing time together. Like any art form, comedy thrives with practice. Ironically, jokes are about the only thing most of us take seriously.

Location:
We will meet at the Saldanha Residence shopping center food court, in front of or around Noori Sushi. Look for people with notebooks, pens, laptops, etc.

Here’s how it works:

3-3:30 PM: Social chat

3:30-4:15: Quiet, individual writing time

4:15-5: Optional sharing, feedback time (~5-10 minutes/person)

So, first, we catch up. Then, we write. Then, if you want to, you share what you wrote or ask for feedback. You can also bring things you've written in the past for feedback.

DISCLAIMER: The Lisbon Writer’s Room is NOT a comedy writing class or workshop, just a place to write together and share. You can be a pro or a first timer, everyone is welcome. Although there will be no active teaching, we will provide optional writing prompts to those who want a little help getting started.

AND FINALLY, THIS IS A POSITIVE SUPPORTIVE WRITING GROUP

Comedy is subjective, but respect isn’t. Rule number one: don’t be mean. Our goal is to help each other become better writers and performers. Constructive criticism is welcome––but only when explicitly asked for. Heap on all the praise you want in giant golden fistfuls (that’s what we’re all really after anyway, right?). Just don’t be a jerk. And don’t dominate the conversation (aka “don’t be a jerk”).
