4Talent’s newest scheme, E4 Radio HaHa are seeking comedy writers, performers and producers to submit their work for the opportunity to develop a piece for Channel 4’s new E4 radio station.

They are looking for writers and performers who can turn their hand to the E4 style and attitude. A raft of great comedians started on the radio, from Chris Morris to Ricky Gervais – but they are looking for something they haven’t heard before.

Nine comedy writers and/or performers will be given the chance to attend a series of high-level mentor-led workshops at the E4 Udderbelly at Edinburgh Comedy Festival. At the end of the workshops, each of the 9 finalists will pitch to a panel (including an E4 Radio commissioner), and at least one person will be given a development budget and paired up with an appropriate production company to develop their idea for broadcast. The winning idea(s) will be broadcast on E4 Radio.

The judges from 4Talent and E4 Radio are looking for 9 entrants with the most comic potential, originality and E4-style edge. You don’t need to be from a radio background:

If you think you have what they’re looking for, you need to send them 3-5 minutes of your funniest stuff, or a few pages of your best scribblings. It doesn’t matter what you use if you’re recording it – your mobile, your laptop or that recording studio you have gathering dust in the basement.

The deadline for entries and supporting material is midnight on Friday 18th July
