Mischief Comedy have just announced the next round of their workshops for professionals looking for CPD:
Unleash your inner Mischief Maker and dive into the world of comedic text with Mischief!
Led by a Mischief Member, this course takes you through the Mischief method of working with comedic text. Each week, you’ll explore key comedic techniques. From understanding the classic clown archetypes (Auguste, Bizarre, Naive) to mastering status dynamics, using scenes from Peter Pan Goes Wrong to help illustrate the power of status shifts in comedy. Alongside these core concepts, you’ll explore the art of masking, audience interaction, and the importance of timing, learning how to facilitate comedic moments even when you’re not delivering the punchline.
Each week, we’ll explore a new area of study, equipping participants with a diverse set of skills to deepen their understanding of comedic text brought to life in a supportive, playful environment, where making mistakes is part of the fun. Ideal for actors and performers looking to develop their confidence and ability to interpret and perform comedic text.
This course is ideal for aspiring performers currently in, or soon to be entering, the performance industry.
Learn story structure and joke structure through long-form improvisation. We will teach participants how to build stories using emotional and character connection, encouraging ways of creating comedy without the need to “be funny”.
Join a Mischief founding member as they you through some of the fundamental principles used to create Mischief’s multi award-winning global hits The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong, the BBC TV series The Goes Wrong Show, and many more.
This course is designed for performers who are either currently working in, or about to enter, the performance industry.
