The European Comedy Festival Network consists (currently) of 4 comedy festivals spread out over Europe who all share information, talent and shows to help make their festivals the best they can be. In this live Q&A recorded at the Leicester Comedy Festival we discussed -
- The relationship between the festivals and Dave’s role in all of this.
- What their audiences want and what types of shows do and don’t work at each festival.
- How each festival is trying to attract new shows and more audiences.
- Are you looking for finished shows or work in progress shows?
- What is the European Comedy Festival Network?
- How to sell your show to a European market.
- The best way of getting the attention of a festival scout.
- If Edinburgh is the “year mark” for a comedian, where does your festival fit in around that.
AND MORE!
