THE SITCOM TRIALS – SO YOU THINK YOU WRITE FUNNY?

The Sitcom Trials is running a competition to find the best new situation comedy writing in the country, culminating in a Grand Final at the Gilded Balloon at the Edinburgh Fringe in August, as part of the long-running So You Think You're Funny competition.

Heats will be taking place in London, Birmingham, Cardiff, Manchester and Glasgow showcasing 30 brand new comedies, 5 of which will compete in the final in August. Their prize will be the chance of their own show at the Gilded Balloon at the following year's Edinburgh Fringe.

The Glasgow heat takes place at DRAM! 232 Woodlands Road on Saturday 23rd of July at 9pm. Tickets are just £3 and are available at the door on a first come first serve basis.

Past winners of the Sitcom Trials include McNeil & Pamphilon, whose new TV series Go 8-Bit starts soon on Dave, and Miranda Hart whose joke-shop based sitcom was the hit of the Sitcom Trials' very first Edinburgh run.
