Claude Comedy by Jonathan Leusden
I write comedy with Claude. This is AI collaborated comedy: I bring the real events or the premise, the voice and the final cuts, and Claude drafts against a project archive and a style guide, one chapter at a time. Each series is told in the same straight-faced documentary voice, so the narrator never admits that anything is funny.
Names, businesses and places are changed or invented, and most of what happens is pushed well past what happened.
These series are works of fiction and exaggerated humor. Names, businesses, places and events have been changed or invented, and nothing here should be read as a factual account of any real person or company.

How Claude comedy gets made
The method is the same for every series. A project archive holds what has happened so far. A style guide holds the voice. Claude drafts a chapter against both, and I cut, correct and decide what stays. If you want a setup like this for your own writing project, that is part of what I do through Takeoff Consulting.
