Scripts wanted from Bristol & West writers
'The Sitcom Trials', the comedy show in which new sitcoms compete, makes its TV debut on ITV1 in the West of England on February 21 2003, live every Friday night from Bristol.
Devised and presented by the Bristol-based comedian Kev F, the new weekly show features top comedy talents performing new sitcoms in a unique format where the audience vote for the best and only see the ending of the winner, and win prizes creating their own sitcoms in 'The Pitch Fest'.
The floor is open for local budding comedy writers to get their work included in the show. Scripts need to fit the Trials format: with a short first half with cliffhanger ending, followed by an even shorter final scene to be shown if it wins, and need to be performable by no more than 4 actors.
