Applications to PRODUCE

Nothing To Lose: A Stand-Up Show (Week 8 Corpus One Night Stand) is looking for a PRODUCER!

The show will chart the highs and lows (mostly lows let's face it) of Patrick Wilson and Elliott Wright's university days in a brand-new hour of stand up from the boys who brought you Apologies (★★★★ ½- The Tab), Stuart Brown’s Variety Hour, Speechless, Quinoa I & II and various Footlights Smokers among other things.

We're looking for a Producer to help us put the show together. No experience necessary and it shouldn't be a huge commitment role- most of all we just want someone who's enthusiastic and committed to helping us make the show as good as possible. Freshers most definitely welcome! We're planning on utilising some video sketches to spice up the show so if you have an especial interest or experience in getting involved with some filming then all the better.

If you're interested please send an application to Elliott (elw60) and Patrick (pw395) with the following...
1) why you want to get involved with the show
2) what relevant experience you have (doesn't have to be previous theatre) and why you think it would be useful for the show
3) what comedy do you like and WHY
4) who is your favourite out of Elliott and Patrick and WHY? choose carefully ;)

Producer wanted!

Do you want to organise a cast of thespy actors and character comics?

The tech for this show will be super interesting (hopefully) with all sound equipment on stage and played with in front of the audience's eyes like a real radio booth! If this sort of amateurish deconstructionism either excites you or frightens you or both please get in touch

Please send to waft2@cam.ac.uk:

Why you would like to be involved

Any ideas for producing a show like this

Your personal thoughts on the recent Australian Ball tampering scandal

If you were a cricket commentator, what would your catchphrase be?

No experience required! Ashton Agar got 99 batting 11 on his ashes debut after all
