BBC Comedy Regional Partnership Scheme

This scheme is now closed

As part of our 2023 City of Comedy we are excited to be partnering with Expectation and Creative Wales on our second Regional Partnership Scheme.

This is an opportunity for an emerging indie based in Wales to co-develop a slate of original comedy projects with established comedy producer Expectation over a six-month period.

The scheme is designed to support local talent and grow the production pipeline in the area, promoting collaboration and entrepreneurial approaches to ideas development with the aim of progressing an indigenous indie into the BBC Comedy supply chain.

Our first Regional Partnership Scheme in the North East saw Teesside based indie Sea and Sky Pictures partner with Hat Trick Productions. Co-funded by BBC Comedy and North East Screen, their shared development slate has already resulted in a script commission and character development commission from BBC Comedy.
