In his first-ever online class, award-winning director, writer, producer, and comedian Judd Apatow teaches his process for creating great comedy. You’ll learn how to create hilarious storylines, write great stand-up, and direct comedies that leave audiences laughing.
Judd Apatow is one of the most successful, influential, and respected comedic minds of our time. He has spent his entire life in pursuit of comedy-starting with his first job washing dishes at a local comedy club, just so he could be close to the action.
Since then, Apatow has built an empire of “funny” as a writer, director, producer, and stand-up act. From Bridesmaids to Knocked Up to Freaks and Geeks, his work has been nominated for numerous awards and set box office records. In addition to his signature brand of comedy, which marries gut-busting raunchiness with relatable characters and heartfelt emotion, he is known for his uncanny ability to identify up-and-coming talent. At his core, Apatow is a champion of the underdog and this is reflected in his work, as well as his activism and his philanthropy.

Well, there's that 45-minute story Nick Compangia tells about the alfalfa deal he made with a Napa high-roller and the umpire who kicked him out of the ballpark. It's got great characters and because it involves the total loss of a LOT of money, it's quite tragic ... at least for those who lost it. Those who found the stash of cash were the ones who found it quite funny. They were NOT Garry Shandling, by the way.
