We are thrilled at the announcement that The Agency’s Shannon Welby has joined the third cohort of the BBC Comedy Collective.
The BBC Comedy Collective is a commitment to support the next generation of comedy talent. Previous BBC comedy bursary winners have gone on to make BAFTA award-winning TV series, win multiple script commissions via new production relationships, land agents and receive broadcast credits for work gained via the placements and networking opportunities.
Each bursary winner receives up to £10k worth of paid shadowing on a BBC Comedy production, along with an allocated production mentor, plus a £5k development grant to support their work. They also have a dedicated point of contact within the BBC Comedy Commissioning team to help guide them through their year, as well as access to the Comedy Collective ambassadors and representatives.
Congratulations Shannon from everyone at The Agency!
