Writers Bloc

A Comics' Happy Hour Workshop

Calling all new and seasoned comics! Join us every other Wednesday between 5 and 7:30pm in The Factory for food and drink, camaraderie, and to workshop your material with fellow comedians. We’ve hand-picked established comics to hang out for one-on-one sessions with newer comics, providing feedback on your work.

Free admission to the evening’s homegrown show is included as a perk for all participants, calendar permitting.


How to Participate

Just show up, no pre-registration required! Sessions are available in 15 minute time slots between 5 and 7:30pm.
