In this 3-hour pop-up workshop, How to Write from Your POC POV, we will mine from our personal experiences, backgrounds, cultures, and histories to write deeply personal sketches that are true to our unique POC experiences in America.
We, in the San Francisco Bay Area, will enjoy Fernando’s debut of his 3-hour workshop on Saturday, October 26.
On the heels of the Los Angeles Diversity Comedy Festival, last weekend on October 19, Fernando Funes debuted his 2-hour writing workshop for which to write from one’s POC point of view.
Check out the immediate feedback from Fernando’s October 19 workshop writers!

It was great to break down the basics of sketch writing combined with examples created by us, the audience. I am walking out of this workshop with a fresh sketch! There was great sensitivity and listening while we shared our experiences and became a one-of-a-kind writer's room!
