Hey friends!

The FUNNIEST TV Comedy Screenplay Contest in the World is Back!

Ever dreamt of seeing your TV Comedy script come to life and stream on flat-screens in living rooms across the country? This is your chance to turn that dream into reality! Our Grand Prize Winner will win a Career Accelerator prize package valued at $5,000 that includes script & career development, writer branding and an education package and will be flown to LA to meet industry professionals who’ve worked on iconic TV shows like CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, MONK, BOJACK HORSEMAN, TED LASSO, PEN15, RAMY, ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING, and many more!

Comedy TV is a staple of entertainment that brings us together through laughter. From the relatable family adventures of MODERN FAMILY, to the totally cringe and spastic outbursts of IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, to the witty quips and eyebrow raises of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, audiences can’t get enough exciting comedic storytelling. This year alone, beloved TV series like HACKS and THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES have brought us delightfully funny new seasons, while new shows like THE STUDIO and DELI BOYS are taking couch potatoes by storm. The appetite for amazing TV shows is insatiable, and we want your story to be the next smash hit!

Stage 32 is proud to present the 5th Annual TV Comedy Screenwriting Contest!

We’re on the lookout for all types of TV Comedy scripts! Classic family sitcoms? Witty, goofy character driven stories? Buddy comedy adventures? Adult animated laugh riots? Genre-twisting dramedies with unique points of view? The next legendary comedy star vehicle? We want to see it all!
