Taught by Scott Dikkers, founder and longest-serving
editor of TheOnion.com
Hi, I’m Scott Dikkers.
Founder of TheOnion.com, the AV Club, and Funny University
I’ve also performed on Saturday Night Live and Conan, sold pilots to MTV, Comedy Central, and NBC,
authored several New York Times bestselling books, and won a Peabody Award, the Thurber Prize for
American Humor, and over 20 Webby Awards.
But I haven’t always enjoyed this level of success…
In my twenties, I was pretty sure I was funny, and I knew I loved writing and performing comedy —
but I didn’t know how to make a living at it. I didn’t know how to be a professional comedian.
So I held down a “real” job and watched helplessly as other comedians lapped me and made careers
for themselves. I badly wanted to break through, get noticed, and get paid —
but I was spinning my wheels.
How did I break through? How did I finally make it? Well, that's a long story, but the good news for
you is that, over many years, I figured it out, and I REPEATED my success in several areas of comedy,
over and over. And now I can help you learn comedy FAST and succeed with
THE LEAST EFFORT POSSIBLE.
