Being an SNL cast member is the dream.
Imagine you’re an improv performer in Chicago, and an SNL talent scout is coming to town to see you perform. This could be your one chance to audition for the show. It could change your life.
There are performers in Chicago facing this exciting and nerve-wracking reality right now. SNL scouts are coming in August to check out performers at iO. Hopefuls will get five minutes to impress them.
You might think it’s all about nailing a few uncanny impressions or wacky characters, but it’s not. Performers need to think as much about their writing as their performance. A lot of solid performers get passed over because they fail to demonstrate good writing.
That’s where I come in. SNL has hired several writers I’ve mentored. Two became head writer. I can help level up your comedy so it gets noticed.
I’ll be at Chicago’s iO Theater for in intensive 3-hour workshop called “Sharpen Your Short Comedy” on June 13 at 6 PM.
If you’re planning to audition for SNL, you owe it to yourself to join me. If you just want to get a turbo boost of comedy inspiration and learn with other serious and ambitious comedy students, join me. If you know someone in Chicago who aspires to get better at comedy, urge them to join me.
We’ll workshop short material and everybody will walk out armed with the tools they need to wow an SNL scout, or anybody.
There’s early bird pricing, so grab a spot while you can! Register here.
What an awesome opportunity 🩷
