How It Works

As you know, most live comedy is forged with audience feedback. If you get a laugh, you know you're onto something; if you don't, you tweak things and try again. (Or re-evaluate all of your life choices.)

The aim of Sketchburn is to recreate this feedback loop for filmed comedy, at every stage of the process:

1

Readings

Staged readings of brand-new sketch scripts

The Readings
2

Rough Cuts

Screenings of rough cuts fresh from the edit

The Rough Cuts
3

Showcase

Screenings of finished sketches, ready to go!

The Showcase

Plus audience feedback!

As well as listening out for what makes you laugh, there’s time for more direct feedback after each sketch – so we can decide which bits to keep and which bits to burn forever...
