• Writing With Humour workshop

  Writing with Humour by Gerry Maguire Thompson – June 15

  Gerry’s workshop had a good turnout.  It was interactive and lively.

  Humour can be found in all genres.

  According to Woody Allen, comedy is truth + pain.

  Principles of generating humour:

  1.  Recognition + surprise.
  2.  Two ordinary characteristics followed by unexpected – rule of three.
  3.  Combining unexpected elements, e.g. Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks.
  4.  Exaggeration.
