News: BBC Launches Laugh Lessons To Find New Talent

BBC Three is collaborating with the BBC Comedy Association to launch Laugh Lessons, an opportunity for production companies from across the country to pitch original short sketch ideas from new and upcoming comedy talent that will be hosted on BBC iPlayer and promoted via BBC Three social. 

Following a selection process, four companies will be commissioned to produce up to five three-minute comedy sketches each.

This initiative is particularly focussed on providing new opportunities for diverse and underrepresented comedy voices, with an emphasis on finding new onscreen and behind the camera talent from across the whole of the UK.

Submissions will be accepted from the 18 December 2020 to 22 January 2021.
