Ox Comedy
Sketch & Standup Comedy writing
As a freelance live sketch comedy writer and improvisor, I developed original comedic material designed for stage performance, collaborating with performers and directors to bring short, character-driven or premise-based scenes to life.
Relevant Skills:
Strong Joke Writing: Ability to structure a sketch around a central comedic idea, with clear escalation and a punchy ending.
Voice & Character Work: Skilled at writing distinct voices and memorable, performable characters.
Timing & Rhythm: Understanding of conversational timing and how to create story beats.
Collaborative Mindset: Comfortable working in a group setting, accepting edits, and building on others’ ideas.
Stage Awareness: Write with staging, transitions, and performer energy in mind, not just what’s funny on the page. This is particularly transferable to game writing in regards to the Player, Engine and Voice Acting.
