COMEDY
SUPERVILLAIN
With The Onion, Scott Dikkers punked governments, charities, and millions of unsuspecting readers.
With his multiple top-ten podcasts, he drew legal fire from not one but two US presidents.
How can this madman be stopped?
"I like kickboxing, fixing up old motorcycles,
and lying about my hobbies."
- Scott Dikkers

The no-nonsense daily jolt for the writer, performer, and raconteur who wants to get things done. (May contain some nonsense.)
"One of the top 50 movers and shakers
in the Digital World."

That's because he probably has the
largest margin of ego to comedic genius output
known to mankind."
"The Funniest Person in America."

LIVING A CREATIV MISSION
Scott discovered something magical at the age of 4. He published his first book by stapling together scrap paper his dad brought home from work, and it opened a new dimension in life—a way to transcend shyness, connect with others, and communicate whimsical ideas to the world.
Since then, he’s been an unstoppable whirlwind of creativity. As a child, he made super-8 films, recorded serialized radio sketches on cassette, and performed on the street. In his teens, he brought his comedy to school talent shows, comedy clubs, and national radio. His short films began winning awards at festivals, and he won first place in a Wisconsin State Journalism contest for his school newspaper comic strip.
In his 20s, he created the comic strip Jim’s Journal, which ran in over 100 college newspapers and spawned a self-published book collection that made the New York Times bestseller list. He helped create The Onion and led it from small college newspaper to internationally known humor brand. He founded The AV Club. He won the Thurber Prize for American Humor and a Peabody Award.
In recent decades, Scott has authored over 30 books, including the million-copy #1 bestseller Our Dumb Century. Entertainment Weekly placed him on their “It List” of the top 100 entertainers in Hollywood. He amassed millions of social media fans, performed on Saturday Night Live and on stages around the world. His video shorts are viral hits online with millions of views.
He founded How to Write Funny in 2014 in partnership with the Second City training center in Chicago, sharing his signature method for unleashing creativity and writing humor. His students have gone on to win Emmys, Grammys, and Oscars.
