Want to detox from reality for an evening?
Join comedian Mike Sheer in this playful two-hour writing experience (with drinks) in East London's People's Park Tavern, just off Victioria Park.
This activity is the perfect opportunity to kick back with your tipple of choice and have belly laughs with friends old and new, over a delightful mix of innovative and juicy writing prompts.
This is NOT a formal class on how to write the next bestseller; it's a fun exploration of sideways thinking, celebration of imperfection, and chance to let loose on the page. Whether you choose to share what you've written or not is completely up to you!
Come along to make writing fun again. You'll leave this session feeling refreshed, with a reawakened imagination.
Ideal for couples, groups of friends, or solo travellers looking for an easy escape from normal.
What You Get:
- Two hours of guided creative writing, with various games and prompts
- Access to Mike's 20 years of professional experience writing and performing comedy, and coaching writers
- A PDF one-pager of creative inspo to your inbox, for future reference
What You'll Need:
- Basic English writing skills
- An open mind
- Something to write with (pen and paper will be provided - this is a great opportunity to get away from the screen!)
