YouTube sketch comedian with 30M+ monthly views is seeking talented writers to assemble a quasi-writer's room and help brainstorm, pitch, and script comedy sketches, bits for Instagram, short song ideas, and much more.

UCB Improv, Groundlings, Second City, etc. experience is a bonus.

- Collaborate Creatively: Work with others to refine ideas and scripts. Final Draft/Highland Pro proficiency desired.
