How To Write Effective Comedy Play Scripts

By Rosa Koch


It needs a lot of practice in order for a person to become skillful in writing comedy play scripts. Funny ideas can be difficult to find and need to be done properly in order for them to become effective. If you are not used to it, it can also be difficult to do the first time.

There are a few tips that you can follow to get it right. The first thing you need to identify is the kind of jokes that you want to work on. Be careful and do not mix different kinds of joke. This will confuse your audience more and maybe even yourself.

If you can observe, most funny stories revolve around scenes and lines that are reversed. This is the most common and most important composition that you should bear in mind. Be sure that you know how audience reacts in a certain situation so you can give it a proper twist.

Novice writers usually fail at giving specific details of things that are supposed to be funny. When you are mentioning a kind of thing that has a general type, it would be more effective if you just mention a specific type of that being. It you want to mention dog, it would be a lot better if you state a specific breed.

The location of your story must also be written specifically. You have to incorporate ideas about things that the characters of your story can play with. Instead of saying that it just happened in a building, you can specify which part of the building it really happened. Sometimes the most ironic ones are very effective.

It is also important to remember that not all funny jokes are fun when they are all incorporated at once. Despite the laugh that a certain joke may give you, there are limitations on how you can use it. If it is not effective in the scene, you should not include it.

The best way in determining if comedy play scripts are good is asking good actors to act the scenes out for you. When they are being said out loud, they differ in ideas at times. It would also be good if you ask someone who can critic the story for you.
