Unusual Things is for anyone who’s ever wanted a guidebook to the craft of sketch comedy, whether they’re writers, comedy fans, or just comedy-curious.

And! This book is also for anyone who writes anything at all. Because beneath the goofiness of sketch lies a fascinating, nuanced process and structure. Learning these things won’t just help you write better sketches – it’ll help you become a better, more nimble writer in any medium.

I’ll walk readers through the fundamentals of sketch: defining terms, deconstructing sample sketch scripts, offering writing prompts, and sharing the lessons I’ve learned over my many years of writing, teaching, and directing sketch.
