The ComedyStudio is a targeted development scheme for black and minority ethnic writers, led by the BBC’s Writersroom. Working across the industry and broadcasters, it aims to bring together a group of up to 10 of the most talented writers with a real commitment to narrative comedy. The impetus for this scheme came from the BBC’s Black and Asian Forum (BBAF) produced “An Audience with the Real McCoy”, an event to celebrate 21 years of the comedy sketch show which looked at why it was so successful. The scheme is supported by the Cultural Diversity Network, BBAF, BBC Comedy Commissioning and The Collective.
