Writing Tools For Comedians


If you are an artist, you need to have a way to prepare your scripts. In this article, I’m going to tell you about several tools to write excellent scripts.

There are hundreds of tools on the internet to write a script. But they are not created equal, especially when it comes to comedy. 

The following are my top five tools for comedy writing.

  1. Studio Binder:

Studio Binder is an online scriptwriting tool used widely over the internet. People use this one for the facilitation of writing scripts. There are specific formats that you need to maintain during the scriptwriting process. Studio binder can provide you with proper formatting to make an excellent script. This is the latest trending option for writers to go with. 

  1. Celtx:

Celtx is a tool that has the automation option during scriptwriting. This is software supported both in windows and IOS programs, which keeps it more flexible to use. It also has the flexibility of reviewing your scripts on your mobile device through the Celtx App. It can give you the autogenerated Format used during the scripting formats. Do go through this software, and you will be able to write the most acceptable script of your career.

  1. WriterDuet:

This is also an alternative to Celtx. You can use it in both Windows and Mac OS, which is the reason for its flexibility. It also has its app for more flexibility and more workflow arrangement. It is one of the most adequate tools to start for beginners with easy UI design and UX. This provides the facilitation towards beginners. This will also help the writing process.

  1. Final Draft:

This is one of my favorite script writing software. It can write novels, WB formatted scripts, TV commercials, TV shows, talk shows, articles, and screenplay options. This is widely used in the industry due to the proper maintenance of industry standards. I have completed screenplays of three short-films using this software. It is an overall good software to start with.

  1. Microsoft Word:

This is a regular writing software that doesn’t support any automation. I will recommend it to you just because this is a good one to get used to. If you are going for a new scriptwriting software, there would be many complications using Word. But going to industrial standards of formatting and using regular software can also make your work easier and faster. Almost everyone is entirely aware of MS Word, so no need for complications. You can easily manage complicated scripts till the completion. So it is the most cheaper and most comfortable option for you to go with.
