How to pitch The Comedy Network
Step 1: Dude. Just watch the network.
Watching the network will give you a good idea of what we already have, so don't give us more of the same or it's an automatic punch in the neck. Our network is all about being irreverent, adult and most importantly funny, so make sure your project fits into those categories.
Step 2: Yes. We have "challenges," but don't point them out.
- Our licence restricts us from airing feature length films and documentaries.
- We are limited in the amount of animation we can air. We will consider animated projects, but they better rock our world.
- We are currently only pursuing Canadian based productions and Canadian co-productions.
- If we hug, learn or cry because of your project, the proposal is ritualistically burned.
Step 3: I'm ready. Let's pitch this!
Your pitch needs to include:
- A clear, concise and easy to read description of the project.
- Any support material including character descriptions, episode breakdowns, scripts (only 1 is necessary), etc.
- An explanation on why our audience would watch (our current target is males 18 to 35).
- Who are the key creative players (Producer, Director, Writer, Talent)?
- An email and mailing address where we can contact you.
Step 4: Are you for really real ready?
Pitches can be mailed to: The Comedy Network, Attn: Development Department, 299 Queen Street West, Toronto, ON, M5V 2Z5 or email Comedy Pitches
Step 5: Critical Response Time
There is nothing critical about it. We receive and review pitches all year round. Please give us 4 to 6 weeks to review and respond to your proposal. Impatience will be frowned upon and result in an "F" grade. Don't be too disappointed if we don't proceed with your idea. We receive thousands of proposals every year with only a few being produced. But if you're a sucker for punishment and have further ideas, please keep them coming.
Step 6: I don't have a show idea but I'm one funny mother f@ck#r!
Performance demos and writing samples will be accepted at the above address. But please note: we do not respond to these types of submissions. If we think you're right for one of our shows, our people will contact your people and then our people will tell us people and then us people will be able to get back to nap time.
