Channel 4 go for New Talent

August is Channel 4′s new talent month,with nightly topical comedy, comedy shorts on E4 and a new selection of Comedy Labs pilots.

There are six 30-minute pilots among which five are sketch shows, including:
* Slaterwood, a showcase for comedian Peter Slater, one of the team behind The Unbroadcastable Radio Show, which has a monthly residency at the Manchester Comedy Store.
* School of Comedy, an adult sketch show performed by children.
* Pappy’s Fun Club – ‘It’s got a Vic Reeves’ Big Night Out feel to it, with a mixture of vaudeville and behind-the-scenes material.
* Mr and Mrs Fandango – real-life couple Tom Meeten and Barunka O’Shaughnessy play famous couples, an irreverent comedy ‘in the spirit of Kenny Everett’.

Sounds as though there is plenty to go on!
