Would like to echo Steve’s sentiments. @50comedy50 is a fantastic program that has led to us working with so much comedy talent! If you want to find an ‘in’ to this industry - give them a shout x
Spent the morning reading through some excellent applications for the @50Comedy50 ITV2 Celebability writers room placement scheme. It's such a great initiative, and has resulted in the past two winners joining the main writing room this year as fully paid writers 🙌

Dear industry, be more Steve! Get involved with @50Comedy50 xox
The @itv2 Celebability writers room has hugely benefited from the @50Comedy50 initiative. The brilliant @sallyoleary did the placement scheme on the show last year and is now part of the main team. @crybabykeff is doing it this year and will undoubtedly follow in her footsteps 🙌
