BBC Comedy Writer Wanted (now closed)

BBC Radio Comedy is looking for a staff writer to join their team!

BBC Radio is producing some of the best comedy content to be found anywhere.  Not only is it the home of long running shows like The News Quiz, The Now Show, Just a Minute and I’m Sorry I haven’t a Clue, but it is also a fertile ground for new talent due to its quantity of output (around 150 hours per year) and openness to new writers in dedicated slots and on shows such as Newsjack.

The deadline for applying is 24th August, full details can be found here. This role requires you to have at least 3 broadcast credits with BBC Comedy, so most Comedy Crowders will be out the running, but if you don’t yet have the experience to apply for a role like this, why not start now? Are you not sure whether you are funny enough?…

You can find advice on writing for radio including a great Sitcom Geeks interview with Radio 4 Comedy Commissioner Sioned William in our Comedy Academy.
