Other sketch opportunities?

Hi other than Newsrevue, Newsjack, and The Treason Show, are they any other shows you can submit sketches/one-liners to, topical or otherwise?

Have a look here, https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/18594/

They've used two of my sketches so they're not that picky! ;)

Spend some time with Google and you will find quite a few opportunities. Here's an example:

> Sketch writers and/or stand-up comedians

- Comedy Garage Grand Tour 2012

Submit a sample of a 3 minutes sketch script(s) for live performance with actor/stand-up interacting with second character (played by same actor/stand-up) via one/two on-stage TV-screen(s) (pre-recorded material).

Send script sample to

comedy.garage@screenplayproductions.ltd.uk

Spend some time making contacts (go to see sketch shows and talk to performers/producers afterwards) and you will find plenty more.

Ah, dear old Screenplay Productions! Browsing their website, I found this in the productions section...

Hmmm, I'd love to see that, I wonder when it's going to be on?

In my brain, yes. Would love to show it to you, but it's not actually been filmed... yet? Errr

I imagined your series Tim and it was very, very funny.

Cheers, sootyj, it is. In fact, to some extent I'm relieved the script was never green-lit, because to actually film it would probably ruin the perfect piece of situation comedy which plays in my head on a nightly basis. I suppose I should count myself fortunate that I, at least, have access to the brilliantly hilarious contents of my brain.
