John Bishop is looking for comedy material

Postby fellpony » Fri Jul 06, 2012 2:55 pm

Comedian John Bishop is looking for material for his new Sky1 series ONLY JOKING. They say "you'll get full credit" and "the show concentrates on the money end of what stand-up is and just does jokes". For those hoping to break into TV comedy it might be worth it (and they may actually pay but don't want to shout about it in Radio Times.) Email your gags and jokes to [email protected] and you may get to appear on the show too.

Yes, thanks for that,
"the show concentrates on the money end of what stand-up is and just does jokes"
Mm, I wonder if this means you get paid..
As you say, it seems that it's a possibility.
Ages ago I advertised in the Stage magazine, got some work that way, seems a very dated way of selling one's work now.
