It will feature Josh Pugh, Bethany Black, Jake Lambert, Don Biswas, Sarah Mills, Sam Serrano, Lara Ricote, Dan Tiernan, William Thompson and Will Robbins.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Watsham, UKTV\u2019s director of commissioning, said: \u201cThe showcase will see host Rosie Jones welcome up-and-coming comedy talent to the stage for an in-person audience of producers and commissioners from across the industry, helping to deliver on UKTV\u2019s commitment to provide a platform for diverse and underrepresented talent, alongside other key initiatives such as UKTV\u2019s diverse writers schemes and our UKTV All Voices initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones said: \u201cI am so excited to be hosting another UKTV <em>Disability Comedy Extravaganza<\/em>, particularly now this one rightfully has my name in the title! As we proved with the last event, it\u2019s so important that TV doesn\u2019t overlook disabled comedians as we are a ridiculously funny bunch. It\u2019s so exciting that this time viewers will get to join in the fun and watch too!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iain Coyle, head of comedy entertainment at UKTV, said: \u201cDiversity is rightly a priority for UKTV and Dave, and I\u2019m so proud to be involved with this initiative. There\u2019s a huge amount of disabled talent out there, criminally underused. We want to be at the forefront of introducing the industry, and viewers, to that talent and have a bloody good laugh while doing so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adele Fowler of Phil McIntyre Television said: \u201cWe\u2019re really proud to be working with UKTV and Rosie Jones again on another fantastic and diverse night of comedy, and we\u2019re looking forward to seeing all the exciting comics perform.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UKTV has commissioned the live comedy showcase Rosie Jones\u2019s Disability Comedy Extravaganza as a UKTV Play and Dave YouTube channel exclusive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":11828,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2891,81,2892],"class_list":["post-11827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-rosie-joness-disability-comedy-extravaganza","tag-uktv","tag-uktv-play"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
