Comedians

Children's series in which Richard McCourt and Dominic Wood attempt to master new skills. The boys enter a competition for new stand-up comedians.

Presenters Dick and Dom help write a script and test it on a comedy assault course before entering a competition for new stand-up comedians as part of the London Comedy Festival. The boys take lessons from comedians and comedy script writers, before learning how to be funny at a comedy workshop. It's then on the comedy script writing day but this is where the problems start to appear. Dick and Dom can't stop laughing at their own jokes and are finding themselves funnier than their audience.

The challenge culminates in them entering a competition for new stand ups at the Hackney Empire during the London Comedy Festival week. The boys are not sure whether they will succeed or not. As they wait to go to do their act they see a lot of acts dying on their feet! Will the crowd pick up on their nerves or can their own brand of unique humour win over the audience?
