SATURDAY LAUNCH AND HELP PLEASE: A Comedy of Gamers

Dear Comedy Crowders,

We hope you’re all doing well and making the best of lockdown. We can share the launch dates for A Comedy of Gamers, and some ways you can help us get the word out.

We're amazingly proud of what the team has achieved together and we're really looking forward to sharing it with you all this week. A Comedy of Gamers has already been accepted as an ‘official selection’ for the 2020 UK Offline Webfest- a great endorsement to get before we’ve even launched!

First episode Premiere

We're going to launch the first episode of A Comedy of Gamers on our YouTube channel next Saturday (11 April).

Please subscribe to the channel and get ready to watch.

Let Matt know ASAP if you’d enjoy being part of a short (15 minute) YouTube Premiere session on 6pm on Saturday. If there’s enough demand we can watch together and share comments.

Here are some social media links that you can also share:

Our final trailer on YouTube (embedded above too!).

Follow the show on twitter (and re-tweet our trailer there).

Like our Facebook page and join our Facebook group (and again share the trailer here).

Instagram and TikTok are also planned soon. We'll keep you posted.

Thanks everyone for all your support so far. Stay safe and keep in touch.

We are looking for :

We’d love to assemble a team of writers to work together on our second season. If you want to write for a sitcom that actually gets made then come and join our writers room for A Comedy of Gamers.

As we prep for Season Two we'd be very happy to talk to any directors, producers or editors who are interested in helping make the show.

We'd also appreciate any help or advice with marketing and social media as we get Season One ready for a full launch from March.

And finally, if anyone would like to help us experiment with a laughter track we'd love to hear from you.

Our budget is tiny and all roles are unpaid so best suited to collaborators like us who want to work with great people and get better at making great content.

We welcome collaborators from all backgrounds. Our team is committed to being: supportive, creative, inclusive, professional and flexible. Please drop us a line if you’d like to know more.
