BBC Comedy Classroom
Deadline: Sun 24 Jul 2016
The Comedy Classroom competition will give 13 to 15 year-olds across the UK the chance to have their work made and broadcast by the BBC this autumn
Some of the UK’s top comedy talent, including comedian Charlie Higson, Kerry Howard, Marcus Brigstocke and David Walliams, are calling on secondary school students to become classroom jokers for a new comedy writing competition launched today (April 19) by the BBC, in partnership with the National Literacy Trust.
The Comedy Classroom competition will give 13 to 15 year-olds across the UK the chance to have their work made and broadcast by the BBC this autumn. A collaboration between BBC Learning, BBC Comedy and the National Literacy Trust, the winners will also have a chance to visit the BBC to see it filmed and receive a Comedy Classroom trophy, a signed certificate and a visit from a BBC Comedy comedian to their school.
There are three categories to enter:
- Class Joker - Stand-up. Students can turn their personal observations and views of the world into a written and performed stand-up comedy routine.
- Class Act - The Sketch. Write your own unique sketch and bring to life funny ideas and characters.
- Class Comic - Clever Captions. Find the funny in the image and write a comedy caption.
