A chance to meet TV comedy commissioners

I went to the launch of Gags to Go last night, an initiative by Channel 4 and The Comedy Unit to find new comedy for mobile phones - more on that later today. But a quick scan of the 4Talent website this morning unearthed this upcoming event...

SHOT AT TV: As part of Glasgow Comedy Festival, this 4Talent event brings together heads of comedy from Channel 4, Channel 5 and the BBC for a no-nonsense insight into getting your comedy commissioned. Aimed at small independent production companies and freelancers, this event takes you by the hand, leads you up the talent ladder, and introduces you to the comedy commissioners you need to meet.
