Sketch Comedy Is Fun
What is a Blackout?

The term "Blackout" is used by professionals. It's a short sketch, usually only a few seconds long. Rather than a series of beats, it is only one beat long. It is designed to mislead the audience into thinking that it might be longer but then has a quick laugh. This quick reveal gets the laugh and prevents a MUCH longer scene. Think in terms of 'quick and to the point.'
