Yeah, I know what you mean.......and it's a bit touch and go quality wise too....

yeahi have heard some of those radio 2 panel things they have, some of those are quite good. but apparantly radio 4 is brimming its nuts off with comedy. see, i pride myself (if only because i watch a ridiculous amount of tv) on being one of the select few who watch tv programmes before they get really popular and crap (eg ali g when he was on the 11 o'clock show, when bo selecta was just E4 shorts, and when dom joly was on the comedy lab) but then i hear about Partridge being on the radio? what? chris morris had Jam on radio 1?
and i feel left out...

Also......Comedy Lab is very experimental and appeals to very narrow and varying groups. People who've got stuff on aren't usually asked to do more of the same (though Joly was) - they might be commissioned to do something for someone else based on the fact that they've got something made.
BBC want broader stuff that'll appeal to more people. You're around 18-20?

just turned 20last sunday. but i think a lot of bbc comedy is shit. partridge, big train and something that i can't remember off the top of my head are the only good things on it.

I agree......it is generally pretty shite. But they know what they want and aren't terribly flexible...don't know too much about how Comedy Lab stuff is commissioned, why don't you find out and try to target them?

its all part of my "Apply Yourself You Lazy Bastard" Seasoni AM going to try and find a work experience placement in radio this summer.
i AM going to keep writing stuff, rather than just try and get into the industry and then think "well i am here now, now what?"
i AM going to send off lots of pestering letters to producers, station managers etc.
etc.
