| Humor columnist, Judy DiGregorio, will present a workshop that will explore the purpose of humor, review the different types of humor, find out what makes people laugh, investigate why we want to be funny, and identify possible markets for humor writing. Through some humorous readings and short writing assignments, we will discover what makes a humor writer tick and how we can make our own work funnier. Remember, laughter is the jest medicine. |
