BBC West is giving aspiring local comic talent the chance to raise some vital cash for Comic Relief through the joy of laughter. We've got a chance for you to get people in stitches at Jongleurs in Bristol or maybe even to perform in front of thousands at 2007's Glastonbury Festival in Somerset. All you need to do is send in your videos and make us laugh. The funniest will go forward to a vote on this website. Eight finalists from the poll will then go before a discerning live audience and panel of celebrity judges at Jongleurs. If your jokes hit the right funny bones then you could be entertaining a comedy tent filled with Glastonbury Festival revellers in need of some comic relief from the West Country weather this summer. So whatever your style of humour, level of experience or fan base of mates, if you think you have some fresh talent to offer then email or send in the post two minutes of yourself being funny to camera and help cheer everyone up. HINTS AND TIPS: Mark Olver coached singer Jane Gilchrist for a gig at Jongleurs in Bristol - find out how she got on and read Mark's tips for being a better stand-up comedian.
