Chortle Comedy Conference

Details

Chortle is to stage another conference for new and up-and-comings comics to get the lowdown on all aspects of the industry.

John Lloyd, the creator of QI and Not The Nine O’Clock News, producer of all four series of Blackadder and host of Radio 4’s Museum of Curiosity, is among the panelists and speakers lined up to appear.

Sessions will cover everything from getting started on the stand-up circuit to pitching ideas to TV networks; staging a show at the Edinburgh Fringe to the nuts and bolts of tax and law – presented in conjunction with performers’ union Equity.
