Harry ter Harr, comedy writer
"Chris has an incredible knowledge of sitcom structure and archetypes. He is a brilliant editor with a clinical and comedic eye. His feedback is always super clear, informed and thoroughly thought through. He works very quickly and is a natural and generous teacher. I really liked that he kept on bringing me back to character as opposed to simply trying to 'think of funny ideas.' This really enriched the project."
Jared Hamilton, comedy writer
"Not only did Chris help me fix my script’s structure, but he also helped me hone my characters and see where to make cuts. Working with Chris got me out of a rut and helped me progress to the next level with my producer."
Michael John Byrne, comedy writer
"Chris is a fantastic comedy coach. His sessions are so well structured and informed. He gets the points across very clearly and it is impossible not to pick up countless tips to improve your comedy writing. Chris is a master in the art of crafting comedy."
Comedy Script Coaching on Zoom
Receive practical and inspiring feedback on your TV comedy script
LIVE ON ZOOM!
For sitcom, comedy drama scripts​ and sketches
​
In a lively, inspiring and highly practical session, I discuss the script with you the writer. I read and prepare my notes ahead of the session, then we look at your script on the screen together and I give you feedback and ideas. In conversation we will come up with great ideas and solutions to issues between us. (I find actually talking to the writer yields much better results than sending a written report). Here is a sample video to show how it works. After every session you receive a video or audio of the session and you get detailed notes. Here is a heavily redacted example of the first page of the kind of notes you can expect.

What is a Zoom script coaching session like?
To give you a flavour I produced this two minute video (from an hour long session). For confidentiality, I have edited it to hide the writer and their work. This is a follow up session where I review the latest draft responding to my previoius notes, some of which which you'll hear referenced in these snippets.
