According to their webiste, “CBC Radio is looking for the funniest 3 minutes of radio in Canada, with the winner receiving a development deal to create a comedy special.” The promotion is called Stand and Deliver:
It’s pretty simple – we’re after 180 seconds of hilarious radio. You know you’re funny (or you like to think you are) and you’ve always hoped for a place to show off your comedic talent. Well, here’s the chance you’ve been waiting for.
All you need to do is send in some comedy that can be played on radio (3 min. max). Submissions can be any form of comedy that makes for funny radio: stand-up, sketch, song, poetry, parody, interview, commentary, mini-program, impersonation. Please, no pantomime!
No topic is off limits and any style of comedy will be considered. The only restriction Stand and Deliver has is that the humour be suitable for public broadcast. Hey, this isn’t HBO.
Deadline for submission is FEB. 13. Hop onto the website for the rest of the rules. Note to American comics: It’s clear they’re seeking Canadian comics only.
