The third Big Comedy Conference, organised by British Comedy Guide, will take place in Holborn, central London on Saturday 25th April 2020, 9:30am - 6pm (followed by drinks).
Writing your own sitcom? Then you can't miss this. The 2020 conference will focus on writing for broadcast, offering practical, useful insight and advice to sketch and sitcom writers of all levels of experience to further their knowledge and career.
Lee Mack will join us as one of 2020's headline speakers, whilst Sandi Toksvig, comedian and president of the Writers' Guild of Great Britain, will deliver a keynote speech.
Other writers, executives and producers will be amongst those taking part in our panel sessions, sharing valuable insight into what really goes on in the writing and commissioning process.
More speakers and a full schedule will be announced in the coming month.
Sessions will look at plotting and character, sketch writing, topical comedy, and how to actually get your work commissioned.
