HAPPY STUDENTS

I had never taken a writing class before, so I was a little nervous. I was
afraid I would not be able to keep up, but on the first day Sean broke it all
down into simple steps that made it EASY!  Class was like hanging out with a
bunch of your friends and sharing ideas. - Suzanne

"Sean's writing class is beyond amazing! I'm starting a sketch comedy show
BachelorsPad.TV and all my sketches use his comedic formula!"  -  Andrew "King
Bach" Bachelor

“Being in Sean’s writing class developed a confidence and enjoyment in my
writing process.  I can discern if an idea has legs to be a sketch, short story,
movie, or just a joke.   Sean is a wealth of skill and professional knowledge.
 I appreciated how he could acknowledge the writer’s voice while also
acknowledging what would sell/hit with an audience/consumer.I’ve taken comedy
and writing classes at UCB, Groundlings, Second City, and at Yale.  Sean’s
writing class has been the most useful and applicable for comedy/professional
writing.” - Jocelyn

"Before Sean’s class, I had never written a sketch and didn’t even know where to
begin. In just six weeks, Sean gave me the tools to create unique, polished, and
most importantly, funny sketches- and I have five finished sketches to show for
it! I cannot recommend this class highly enough. It has been invaluable to me as
a beginning comedian and writer." - Morgan

"Sean created a judgement-free, engaging, constructive environment for us to
learn, or further our knowledge of, sketch writing. He taught us the pillars of
sketch structure, gave us exercises and lessons we could implement each week,
and his notes were intentional, considered and helpful. He knows how to take a
pre-existing good idea and broaden it just as well as he knows how to take a
good idea and take it in a new direction. I loved the class -- he has an amazing
comedy brain and getting to learn from him has made me a better writer and
thinker." -Jenn

I’ve never had a teacher that allowed me to feel like I didn’t have to censor
myself. The result was that I was comfortable to tackle material that I actually
find interesting. Class was also just really fun. Sean is one of those rare
people gifted with the ability to draw the best out of people. - Cait

"Thank you thank you so so so so much for your wisdom. I am a better writer and
a better person because of taken your classes. I believe that you're the type of
teacher awakens brilliant minds and molds raw talent. You have inspired me to be
the best story teller I can be. You have also helped me find my life purpose
which is inspire people through written text." - Sireh

"I wanted to say thank you for your advice and guidance in sketch class. Of the
three sketch classes I've taken, yours is the only one that has truly made the
writing process fun and approachable. Your method for breaking down the
structure and simplifying the individual beats has been so helpful. I've found
these tips especially helpful in screenwriting. It's really helped knock out
writer's block. Thanks, Sean!" - Kim

Sean, This class has been incredibly eye-opening for me. It really helped me
uncover some writing skills I didn't know I had and I learned a lot about the
technical aspects of sketch writing.  I'm so excited to keep this up. I'm
reworking parts of all of my sketches and plan to produce all of them into short
videos. I'm also putting together some actual writing sample submissions for
networks!  -  Melanie



Thank you for being an amazing instructor! Not the proper way to show gratitude
but I want you to know how grateful I am for your classes. They've helped me
tremendously. They are, in my mind, the most helpful of any writing course I've
taken. (Hell, I took yours 3 times!) Wanted you to know that I've passed Writing
Lab and have a job writing a feature at the moment. I couldn't have done it
without your help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the tip of my
pencil. (I still write old-school.) - Dee

"I learned so much more than sketch writing in this class – I learned the
fundamentals of comedic storytelling. Sean's specific approach and breakdown to
comedy is science! The readings and feedback from the class, in addition to
Sean's expert opinion, were incredibly powerful tools for me as a writer. Each
week our sketches progressively improved and you could really tell the
difference in just a few weeks. Thank you so much for all of your wisdom and
hospitality, Sean! " - Brit

"This class should be dubbed “The Science of Sketch for Beginners”. If I had the
money to trademark it I would also name his style “The Hogan Method”.  He breaks
sketch down into easy, digestible, well thought out lessons for anyone venturing
into Comedy, be it sketch to Improv to standup. Total game changer. Thank you!"
- Lindsay

"No judgement, no pressure I absolutely loved the class, I learned so much and
will continue on to take more classes, if every instructor would be as relaxed
and pleasant to study with, we would have millions of sketch writers out there
just enjoying themselves."   - Anita

I’ve taken comedy and writing classes at UCB, Groundlings, Second City, and at
Yale.  Sean’s writing class has been the most useful and applicable for
comedy/professional writing. I simply cannot recommend this class enough. Safe
place to learn with no pressure.” - Jocelyn

Hey Sean! Want to send you a thank you for the sketch writing class!  I had a
blast learning how to write sketches - it's a whole new world for me.   Thanks
for creating a relaxed and fun space to do all of that.  I used some of the
ideas that I came up with in there for my CBS Diversity Audition (the reason I
took your class to begin with) and am going to callbacks for it in a few weeks! 
I have to come up with a few more characters for that but looking forward to
implementing all that I learned from you.  - Anisha

"Sean Hogan's comedy sketch writing class was an extremely cathartic, humbling
and progressive experience. Sean has truly mastered the process of creativity by
allowing each writer to go to "that place" in his/her work. His feedback was
always realistic, constructive and encouraging. I felt so comfortable creating
quick wit dialogue and a type of humor that may or may not be accepted by
"society standards. I felt supported by the entire class and saw my writing
improve on every level possible.I feel so much gratitude toward Sean and highly
recommend his class."  - Kathleen 

"I  just wanted to thank you Sean for all you taught me over the past six weeks.
I came into class not knowing anything about sketch writing and now feel so much
more confident in being able to produce quality sketches. Without this class I
would have been lost in writing lab, but now I feel that I can go into the class
with confidence. I can't thank you enough for all the great lessons you taught
and the great tips and feedback you gave! Your class was amazing! Thanks!!" -

THE DETAILS

 * For the first class, all you will need is a pad and pen. You should get a
   screenwriting program ASAP though and play around with it to get used to how
   it works. Check out these free options to see if one of them works for you.

 * Paid screenwriting software options? Writerduet is about $10 a month but
   there is a 50% student discount you might be able to get. Celtx is another.
   There is also Fade In for $79.95 for life with no monthly fee and no charge
   for updates. I use it a lot. If you've got the cash, Final Draft is nice.
   It's about $200 but the updates aren't free though.

 * For the 5 remaining classes you will write one 4 page sketch each week and
   email it to me 2 days ahead of time as a .pdf file, so that I can really mull
   them over and give you detailed notes. These first drafts can be really
   unformed, or even bad!  

 * I give supportive notes in class on how to take your rough idea further.
    Writing is rewriting. We'll polish it into a gem.

The class focuses specifically on Sketch Comedy, but the techniques are very
applicable to comedic screenplays and sitcoms. The things that funny people use
to make people laugh out loud can be learned.


Most importantly, I promise to be relentless in my support of your courageous
attempts at creating comedy. (I'm a shy, fragile thing myself.)


FAQ'S

 * What if I have to miss a class? No Problem. You can email me your sketch that
   week and I'll send you notes and any lessons we covered in a 10 minute audio
   file. I'll also send you any new techniques we learned, and everyone else's
   sketches so you'll feel like you are all caught up. 

 * Can I take the class using  Zoom? All of my current classes are on zoom.

 * What if I've never written a sketch before? Then this is the perfect class
   for you. I guide you through a simple process step by step.

 * What if I'm not funny? That's what you are paying me to teach you. Being
   funny is a craft, not a talent. No worries. No Judgment. 

 * Do you have an installment plan? Payment in full is due to claim your spot.

 * Do you give refunds if I have to drop the class? Sorry, no. When you sign up,
   you are taking one of a limited number of spots. I can't replace you with
   someone else as what they'd have missed in class #1 is too essential. Make
   sure you want to commit to this before you sign up.
