How to Pitch Your Comedy to the ABC

The national broadcaster has always been the home of Australian comedy, but with only four or five original series making it to air each year, how can you develop and pitch your pet project so it grabs our attention and makes the cut? Todd Abbott is the ABC’s Head of Comedy, commissioning scripted/narrative comedy projects across the ABC’s multiple platforms. He’ll cut to the chase and tell you the most effective ways to pitch and the traps to avoid. 

NB: Each roundtable runs for 25 minutes with the opportunity for an extensive Q&A.
