"Eric Moneypenny's sketch class gives you an entire reference guide to writing sketch comedy in every format and medium. I promise you will not get the kind of tools and specific insight that this class is offering anywhere else." -Brennan L., class alum
“The first thing I noticed when I started Eric Moneypenny's class was how passionate he was about teaching sketch comedy. It wasn't somebody just teaching for a paycheck, it was somebody who cares about the art and setting up future sketch comedy writers for success going forward.” -Nina C., class alum
“Masterclass of Sketch! Eric Moneypenny's sketch comedy writing class breaks down the form into its simplest parts, and gives you a useful, sketchy vocabulary to understand the concepts - his lessons are extremely detailed and thoughtful. I wish I had taken this class years ago, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.” - Gabe U., class alum
”Sketch 1 with Eric Moneypenny was truly invaluable. His teaching style is focused and generous, and he’s fully engaged throughout every session. Eric offers thoughtful, actionable feedback and shares deep industry insight that goes well beyond the basics. This class is a must.” -Tonia M., class alum
"Eric Moneypenny is truly a fantastic sketch teacher, he teaches you to write to your voice. He offers great notes that are always about bringing the best idea forward and just the amount of information in his e-mails alone is worth signing up for class. I felt like my creativity was re-ignited during his class and I made some great connections with fellow comedians who are hysterical. It's a great community environment, and Eric is a fantastic teacher with fresh knowledge that applies to the current state of media and entertainment." - Tom P, class alum
"This experience was really incredible and so energizing. I can see why (fellow student) came back. It was a total blast and just lights a creative fire under you." -Christian G., class alum
