The Comedy Crowd

*Living with my PARents* It’s been an amazing couple of weeks for Comedy Crowd Top Talent creators Bec and Sam aka BAMComedy! (@bamcomedyuk). They did that mystical thing that creators posting on social media want but so rarely actually happens. They went viral 😲 Their brilliant video “Living with my PARents” has over 15 million views on Instagram 📈. They’ve managed to react quickly to release a sequel approaching 3 million, and their catchy tune from the video is now even available on Spotify 🎵 Despite what it often looks like from the outside, this doesn’t happen by chance. We first met Bec and Sam as part of the Laughter Lab comedy workshop we delivered for O2 (Telefónica UK) in 2021. Since then they have been prolific, consistent, and very funny creators on Instagram and TikTok 📱 For brands, this video is relatable across generations. Baby Boomers, Millennials and Gen Z all know what this uncomfortable truce feels like. Well executed comedy like this is such a good way of engaging and entertaining a diverse audience. Be sure to check out and follow Bec and Sam @bamcomedyuk on Insta and Tiktok - https://lnkd.in/ez9Q2gJp And drop us a message if you know a brand that would benefit from injecting some quality humour into their content. #viral #video #comedy #marketing #brand #humour

It's been a gruelling but fun and illuminating week at the Annecy Animation Festival 🎬 Some amazing shorts and features in competition reminded us how animation, as a medium, can really hit us emotionally, making us laugh hard or even shed a tear (Omar: it was hayfever, I swear!). The festival serves as a reminder that in animated comedy, no matter how good the lighting, storyboarding, and composition are, there's nowhere to hide when jokes don't land. While we admire the ambition of indie animators who do nearly EVERYTHING themselves—from storyboarding and voice acting to writing, promotion, and distribution—we believe many could benefit from collaborating with dedicated comedy writers to punch up their scripts and comedy performers to find extra humour in the line reads. With that said, we're off to check out more toons to laugh at (and not cry to). #animation #comedy #annecy #film #filmfestival #suncream

A blast from the past! (If 2019 counts as the past. It's pre-pandemic anyway). We made this short series #AussieGirls with dream team Peter Lydon, Joanna Carolan, Pascale Wilson and #JessGunning after seeing the fantastic #Chort of the same name. It's very rude and very funny. #comedy #show #aussiegirls

As it's #AprilFoolsDay we thought what better way to celebrate than by setting our funny crowd a #Blitz ⚡ challenge: Create a short April Fools post (max 10 seconds) in response to the theme "A New Use Of AI" Here is one of the entries of the day from PigwashEntertainment #comedy #AI Andrew Turner

We were looking through scrolls at the old library recently and came across this comparison between The Comedy Crowd and Santa. We appear to perform rather well. Arguably the categories they chose are tilted in our favour, but comparison scrolls are rarely free from bias these days. #comparisonscroll #comedycrowd #santa #brandedcontent 

So #ChortsFest 2023 happened on Sunday! It was 🔥 The Chortlist for 2023 is brilliant 🤩 and we had so much fun celebrating with the top comedy creators from this year.
