A clearly stated premise-based initiation can get a scene right into the thick of the funny. In this workshop, we'll address the difference between organic and premise-based initiations and practice harvesting the funniest ideas from the opening. We'll work on nailing down game at the tops of scenes so that we can get right to playing that game.
