The week-long comedy writing workshop will take place in July at Casa Ana Writers' Retreat in Andalucia
Making it Funny will take place from July 30 to August 6. Nigel will cover all aspects of writing comedy, from creating funny characters, to structure, plotting, word order and dialogue.
Actress Sally Phillips will be making a special guest appearance during the week, going over any finer points Nigel may have missed, such as how not to pitch and write a screenplay.
'Days are spent working, but at meal times there are others to have a laugh with,' said Nigel. 'In the evenings we relax in the Moorish garden, watching the sun set on the other side of the mountain. It’s just about the perfect environment for a workshop.'
Prices for the workshop start at £850, including bed, breakfast, tuition, six lunches and five dinners.
Early booking is recommended as the group will be small.
