Short-Form Comedy Skit Writer – Tech, PC Hardware, Gaming | Zack Shutt




I run a YouTube channel covering tech, PC hardware, and PC gaming, and I need a comedy writer for my short-form content. Two scripts a week, two-character bits, performed in my home office.

The format is dialogue-driven comedy. Two characters bouncing off each other in a 30 to 90 second bit. Sometimes both are people. Sometimes one is a personification of a piece of tech, like Microsoft Copilot showing up uninvited or Apple Intelligence trying to gaslight me about a feature I didn’t ask for. Topics rotate through current tech news, PC hardware, and gaming culture. Comedy comes first. The tech is the playground, not the point.

Fully remote. Async collaboration over Slack and Loom.

What you’ll do

  • Write 2 short-form skits per week, 30 to 90 seconds each
  • Pull from current tech news, hardware drops, gaming culture, and personification ideas you bring to the table
  • Write tight dialogue for two characters that holds attention to the punchline
  • Iterate on what’s landing based on view-through and engagement data

What I need from you

  • You can actually write comedy. Sketch, improv, late night, sitcom rooms, stand-up, whatever path got you here. The bits have to be funny
  • Working knowledge of tech, PC hardware, and gaming culture. You don’t need to be a builder, but you need to know what AI features are over-promised, why a GPU shortage joke isn’t funny in 2026, and what’s going on in gaming this month
  • Dialogue chops. Your two characters should sound like two different people, not the same writer split in half
  • You can turn a news story into a 60-second bit with a setup, escalation, and a real punchline
  • You’re not precious. I cut, rewrite, and reshape on the fly
  • No em dashes. No AI-sounding lines. No tech blogger voice

Structure

  • Contract, per-script, remote
  • $100-200 per script depending on experience and how much punch-up I need
  • 2 scripts per week minimum, more if we hit a rhythm
  • 90-day engagement to start, option to expand if it’s working
