This week’s guest has had a profound influence on modern comedy. STEVE KAPLAN is creator of the HBO Workspace, the HBO New Writers Program, and was co-founder and Artistic Director of Manhattan Punch Line Theatre. He’s the author of The Hidden Tools of Comedy and The Comic Hero’s Journey, and the creator and host of the 2-Day Comedy Intensive - happening THIS WEEKEND in Burbank, and later in the year in NYC, London, and elsewhere. Great, funny talk with a master!
