Get back to your creative roots with this playful two-hour writing session hosted by comedian and writing coach Mike Sheer, in The Understudy - a riverside gem in London's iconic Southbank.
This two-hour activity is the perfect opportunity to kick back with your tipple of choice and have a laugh with friends old and new, enjoying 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 wonderfully refreshed, ready to party with your newly reawakened imagination.
Ideal for couples, groups of friends, or solo travellers looking for a mid-week reality detox.
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!)

Good Times Writing Experiences
Good Times Writing Experiences is created and run by me: Canadian stand up comic and writing coach Mike Sheer.
Since 2019, I've been making and delivering practical workshops on writing craft, aimed at professionals, in the UK and the continent. But after offering more public sessions, I realized I get a huge thrill out of helping EVERYBODY remember how wonderful it is to play with ideas and have a safe space to be silly and wild!
