We&rsquo;ll be speed running all things comedy writing from brainstorming all the way through polishing and punch ups - no previous experience needed! Asher O&rsquo;Briant&rsquo;s an advocate for bringing anyone&rsquo;s authentic storytelling to life. Asher&rsquo;s clear dedication to a mixed media artistic expression caught the attention of venues like the Andy Warhol Museum and comedy clubs across the country. Along with a bachelor&rsquo;s in screenwriting, Asher trained directly under Emmy-winning sketch writer Richard Hawkins of the &ldquo;Carol Burnett Show.&rdquo; His award-winning writing not only graces local and national stages, but many of his published pieces are still accessible to read today from anywhere. As a professional comedian, he&rsquo;s toured shows nationwide from New York City to Anchorage, Alaska. Asher&#39;s opened for notable jokesters such as - but not limited to - Robby Hoffman, Julio Torres, Steve Hofstetter, Sam Jay &amp; Sarah Hester Ross.&nbsp; He&#39;s been featured in official pride celebrations in Seattle, Pittsburgh, Long Beach, and West Hollywood. His intentional approach to humor landed him a position as an Advisor of Equity and Inclusion within the arts. Asher O&rsquo;Briant lives at the intersection between artistry and activism, and his door is always open! He happily dedicates his time to uplifting underrepresented artists, with an emphasis on trans/genderqueer and marginalized comedians. After all, what&rsquo;s funnier than going through puberty&hellip;twice?&nbsp; Please consider adding a tax-deductible donation to the Underdog Bookstore 501c3 non-profit with your ticket.
