Production firm drops charges for comedy writers

The Comedy Crowd is planning to pitch a sports-based sketch show to broadcasters and asked would-be writers to submit their ideas. All the best gags would go into the pitch, and if the show got commissioned the creators would 'have the opportunity to be a paid writer and/or performer on the show'. But the company set the scheme up as a competition, and said ideas would only be considered if writers paid £5 to 'cover the cost of administering' it.

Chortle, 6th August 2020

Channel 4's comedy Home continues to delight to an absurd degree. Sami looks bound to get at least one girl, despite hardly trying: he's just a thoughtful, kind, funny man. Douglas Henshall is appearing now as an appalling ex, a smug, entitled irritant; it's as far as an actor can come from Shetland's Jimmy Perez and still own the same face.

He's just one of the cast strengths in Rufus Jones's little ensemble sitcom. Another highlight was an unimpeachable extended discussion between Sami (Youssef Kerkour) and his shopkeeper pal Raj, two non-drinking immigrants, about the perfect British pub. Warm, thought-provoking, clever without clever-clever, always.
