Do Overs (8 Rewrite Notes for Any Comedy Script)

Opens Doors to Comedy Writers

Even without seeing your first draft, I can give you these notes for your rewrite:

1 – Put at least one solid laugh on every page. Not witty banter or zany behavior. A laugh. Not just your opinion, but based on other people’s reads. You are having other people read it, right?

2 – Double-check your story structure and make your act breaks strong to keep an audience interested (and surprised) to the very end.

3 – Make sure every scene has a a comedic high point (character-based) and a dramatic high-point (story beat) that advances the plot, hopefully in a funny turn.

On behalf of all free creative independent people and spirits, and those that wish to be, all sentient beings, and those that appear to have no sense, and all true vibrations in the known and yet to be discovered universe, multi-verse and/or micro-verse(s) and/or any alternative verse(s), in this and all time(s), I claim this blog! Amen. Shalom-saleikem.
