Peep Show Festive Example: As if, Undercutting and Acting out of Character in Comedy Scripts
Hope you had a good Xmas. In this slightly late festive blog and video I explore using the 'as if' and 'undercutting' tools in comedy writing plus I look at the comedy of characters behaving out of character. All illustrated by a Christmas Peep Show Clip but the techniques can be used all year round! Watch and read
The video is an edited excerpt from a comedy scriptwriting course I did on Zoom leading up to Christmas. If you’d like to do a comedy writing course on Zoom with me here’s what’s coming up in the new year.

I love that the post rehashes material that I have heard before; It's like us learning the alphabet in school. The teacher didn't just go over the A, B, C's once and assume that we could go on and learn to read.
Not like we all had sports to fall back on.
Or politics.
