Tragedy + Time: Nonfiction Tragicomedy Writing
Learn how to write “traumedy” and make readers laugh while punching them in the heart. Recommended for mature audiences. This is part of a series of classes, discussions, and shows that focuses on grief through the lens of comedy.
March 9th (Sunday)
2-3pm
In person at The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.
You don’t have to be a celebrity comedian to write a funny memoir. You don’t have to be born with a sense of humor or have had anything funny happen to you. A memoirist must make a meal out of her experience, however minor, however unfunny–that’s the job, and that’s the job we’ll learn to do in this very good seminar.
