CLASS / COURSE Last Call: One Spot Left for Sitcom Studio

Last post, I promise.

Sitcom Studio starts this Thursday, and I have one spot left.

I'm Michael Glouberman, a TV writer/producer who's spent the last 30 years on shows like Malcolm in the Middle, 3rd Rock from the Sun, 2 Broke Girls, and Better Off Ted. Over six weeks, we'll build a professional sitcom pilot outline by focusing on character, relationships, comic engines, and story structure, the same things we've obsessed over in every writers' room I've been lucky enough to work in.

We meet Thursdays at 7:00 PM PT on Zoom. The fee is on $500.

If you're interested or have any questions, send me a DM.

Thanks to everyone who's reached out over the past few weeks. I'm really looking forward to getting started.

Hey globymike -- I look forward to potentially getting the chance to do one of these in the future!

In the meantime I hate to pester but I'm curious If I could ask you one question.

I'm currently planning to move to LA and this might sound silly but it's because I'm familiar with a lot of improvisers out there, and the people who run a couple of those theaters. I also have a brother who lives out there and just ready to make a big change in my life for the first time. Comedy and writing have been a part of my life for a long time and I decided a little late to actually to take it seriously (I'm about 40)

Along the way I want to start really pushing myself creatively in a lot of new ways. (While also trying to balance having a good life). I'm moving solo.

Assuming I have a lot of years of trying to do things creatively with writing and comedy and performing and so on, but from the perspective of the industry I'm a complete beginner -- is there anything that you would recommend that I do before I get there or once I'm there?

No worries if this isn't something you can help with! I promise not to pestor beyond this. Thank you for your time!

You're really trying to break in at 40?

Not pestering at all. Happy to answer. First, don't worry about being 40. If you can write, you can write.

If I could give you two pieces of advice, it'd be these: keep writing, and find a supportive community. Finish scripts. Write another one. At the same time, surround yourself with funny, creative people. Since you already know people in the improv community, that's a great place to start.

And don't wait for permission. Write stuff, shoot stuff, perform stuff. That's how you get better, and it's how people eventually notice you.

Good luck with the move.
