Comedy 101: Taking Live Comedy Online with Charlie Perkins

Are you an act or performer interested in making more online content?

Trying to work out the best way to take a character from stage to screen?

Or a producer looking to help more up-and-coming live talent make the leap to media?

Well it's your lucky day!

Charlie Perkins is one of the most innovative, multi-platform producers out there, and we're thrilled to have this chance to ask her some questions.

With Blink Industries, she's taken The Paddock, her ultra-cool live comedy night, through two commissions for Channel 4 and E4 (The Paddock, and Remote Comedy from The Paddock), which she created, produces and directs. We're going to be chatting with her about working as a creative producer, developing new talent, and taking big, bold risks in comedy.
