Sherbino Writer's Room - SKETCH COMEDY

Sherbino Writer's Room: Sketch Comedy
Looking to stretch your creative muscles? Just want some free funny on a Wednesday night?

You’re in luck—The Sherbino has launched a brand-new program: Sherbino Writer’s Room: Sketch Comedy!

Led by long-time Sherbino Night Live writer and local comedic comrade Lexi Trachy, this drop-in writing group welcomes anyone interested in writing (or just laughing through) sketch comedy. Whether you're a seasoned joke-slinger or just sketch-curious, no experience is necessary—everyone is welcome!

🗓 Meetings this summer on Wednesdays, 7:30–9 PM at The Sherbino.  In AUGUST:  August 6th & 20th
📝 Bring: Something to write ON, something to write WITH, and your sense of humor
💸 Cost: Totally FREE!
🍻 Bonus: Every participant gets a free beverage or a drink coupon for a future Sherbino program—because comedy should be loose, not thirsty.

📍 Location: The Sherbino - 604 Clinton Street

Once we get going, regular sessions will include:

• Table reads of group work.  

• Group idea sharing and editing.

• Brainstorming games & inspiration exercises

• Collaborative idea-sharing

• Laughs (hopefully)

What’s the end goal? That’s up to the group! Maybe it’s reviving Sherbino Night Live. Maybe it’s developing a shared curriculum for "real learning" and honing the craft. Or maybe it’s just creating hilarious sketches for fun. 

Let’s get writing. Let’s get weird. Let’s get funny again.

  • What is the arc of the family vacation? Where do they start and where do they end?

  • What’s the climax of the show? Does it end with the EurAvision contest?
  • What surprises or twists could we include in the finale?
