Seems Channel4's 4Talent has gone too. It was always a good resource for finding out about new talent initiatives. They say they will be launching a new resource in 2009.
Another one bites the dust
What the comedy writing God giveth (incredible new open-door opps at the Beeb), the comedy writing God taketh away....
So it goes.
I think Comedy Lab was under that umbrella too so that's a big blow.

Really?? Do you reckon that's gone too then? 
Comedy Lab is still going ahead.

Yeah, Comedy Lab's site is still up. So that's good sign 
Do you know what else is a good sign?

Blimey! I consider that a bit harsh and will do until I get my rejection letter from C4, when I will be completely on your side 
A prodco told me there was carnage at C4 but they didn't mention comedy lab being affected. Seems you've heard the same, young Bussell?
I know comedylab's a long shot, but it'd be very frustrating if it was completely shelved.

If the recession really does bite, then nothing will be safe. Especially as I can't imagine the advertising revenue from Comedy Labs is anything to get excited about.
