Comedian Sadia Azmat is offering to mentor six people for free.
Sadia Azmat is a comedian, writer and presenter. To mark the paperback release of her debut memoir Sex Bomb, published by Headline on 1st June, she is offering to take on mentoring six people.
Each person selected will be offered hour sessions on Zoom, once a month up to a maximum of 6 months. The sessions are aimed at people who are looking for support in writing and/or stand-up comedy.
Previous mentees have used the sessions to develop stand-up routines, chat about comedy career progression and developed book proposals.
Sadia says: "It is good to have a goal to use the sessions for, which can range from trying to gig or write more to writing a pilot script."
Sex Bomb by Sadia Azmat is available to pre-order in paperback now.
In this vibrant, funny and conversation-starting memoir, Sadia shows how the different sides of her identity and personality have fought and embraced each other over the course of her life.
How to get involved
To apply, simply send a short statement about who you are, what your comedy goals are and why you think you'd benefit from these free sessions with Sadia to pro@comedy.co.uk by 1st June. The six people selected will then be contacted in early June to arrange a suitable time for the first Zoom call.
BCG Pro notes
Note: If you apply but don't make this round of mentoring, there may be opportunity for further sessions later in the year. Please include in your email if you do NOT wish to be contacted in future, should such slots become available.
