Learn Sitcom From Red Dwarf's Co-Creator

Rob Grant will teach you a lesson you'll never forget.

16 July, 2010

For all wannabe comedy writers, this is an all-too-rare opportunity - the chance to learn from someone who, y'know, co-created one of the best, funniest and most stupidly successful comedy series ever. A show that uses all the traditional tropes of sitcom, yet which also broke the mould in two dozen extraordinary ways.

We're talking about Red Dwarf. Obviously.

Rob Grant is hosting a two-day comedy writing course for The Comedy School, an organisation devoted to... well, the name is probably self-explanatory.

Taking place on October 2nd and 3rd in Camden, London, the course will cover sketches, sitcom, radio, TV, practical layout, cunning techniques and career tips. At £250 it's not inexpensive, but it's hard to think that the advice will be anything other than invaluable.
