Show Me The Funny - 大象传媒 launches new UK-wide search for next generation of funny people



Can you make people laugh? Are you a budding comedy writer or performer just itching for a break? If so the 大象传媒 is looking for you!

大象传媒 New Talent, 大象传媒 Radio 4 and 大象传媒 7 are launching Show Me The Funny, a brand new scheme that will replace the 大象传媒 New Comedy Award.

It incorporates Sketch Factor, where you could find yourself writing for a comedy series on Radio 4, and Witty and Twisted, a scheme that could see you performing in your own show on 大象传媒 7.

Paul Schlesinger, 大象传媒 Head of Radio Light Entertainment, says: "Reinvigorating the flow of new writers and performers into radio comedy is absolutely crucial and I'm delighted that we are able to build on the good work already done to create the biggest ever radio talent search with Show Me The Funny.

"So many star writers and writer/performers have come through the ranks of radio - this will be the start of finding the next generation."

Angela Wallis, Executive Producer of 大象传媒 New Talent, says: "This is a brilliant opportunity for writers and performers to work with the most experienced comedy team in radio.

"They will get guidance on how to make comedy work on radio and promising performers will get the chance to make their own showcase for 大象传媒 7 with talented writers working on a top 大象传媒 Radio 4 sketch show.

"大象传媒 New Talent is delighted to be part of this initiative to find exciting new comedy performers and writers to work across 大象传媒 Radio."

Sketch Factor

If you're a budding funny writer, we'd like to read some of your sketches. The deadline is Wednesday 11 October and workshops with short-listed funny people will take place in November. If you're one of the top ten funniest writers, you'll get to work on a whole eight-part Radio 4 comedy series in London performed by top names.

Witty and Twisted for 大象传媒 7

If you're a comedy performer, send us three minutes of you being funny - it can be a sketch, some stand-up or whatever you like. The only criteria is that it has to be funny. The top ten funniest will make a pilot for 大象传媒 7 with the overall winner being commissioned for their own series. Deadline for entries is Wednesday 11 October.
