Some of you know that I’ve been working with a great group of friends on a sketch comedy TV series. You will have noticed a renewed energy towards our beloved project, on social media and via frantic text messages from yours truly. The impetus behind this vigor is CBC’s ComedyCoup, which is a development accelerator for aspiring comedy troupes. (You can read about the initiative here: ComedyCoup)
ComedyCoup will announce missions (most likely assignments to shoot videos and short clips) every Monday night over the next 10 weeks.
Through the process of those missions and votes (this is where we need your support) ComedyCoup will send five teams to the finals.
The prize is half a million dollars to produce a half an hour comedy special, which will likely be picked up as a series by CBC.
This is an unusual and fantastic opportunity for the Pakistani Community to make it’s mark on network television in Canada.
As your friend, and colleague, and above all very grateful fellow guppy, I am asking for your commitment over the next few weeks to:
**
a) Come act with us if you are in the GTA (shoots typically take 2 hours)
b) VOTE FOR US each week (5 seconds/week) (Please register here today About - Fans - ComedyCoup)**
Our site will go live on October 2nd: ComedyCoup
In the interim, please entwine yourself in our social media, which is an integral component of winning this competition:

Forever grateful,
