Television comedies are in the middle of a HUGE resurgence with iconic shows like ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING, HACKS, ABBOTT ELEMENTARY, IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, BAD MONKEY and more accruing critical and audience praise. Thanks to streamers such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+, MAX and others, over 600 shows were greenlit last year and some industry experts are predicting we may see as many as 1,000 television shows greenlit per year by 2025. But not only is the quantity increasing, so is the quality, as companies are funneling an unprecedented amount of money, resources, marketing and talent into their shows. In short, there has never been a better time to write a comedy for TV. Now it’s just a matter of writing a world-class pilot script that wows executives and talent. 

Your pilot script is your calling card, your way in, and the piece of material that will start leveling-up your career as a professional writer.

In this exclusive Stage 32 6-part lab, you will write a TV comedy pilot script that stands out, that can get you representation, that can lead to meetings with decision-makers and/or help you land a coveted seat in a comedy writer’s room.
