Comedy Contest:
Babz is looking for then next hit comedy and would like for people to send the first 10 pages of their feature comedy scripts to babzbuzz @ gmail.com – she will read and may comment on the excerpts in the next show. The one caveat is you need to promise Babz that you must give the pages a table read first. Attach the excerpt as a pdf and include a short logline in your email.
