Fox Short-Com Comedy Hour Means New Opportunities for Comics
FOX will launch THE SHORT-COM COMEDY HOUR in Summer 2013, building on
television’s rich past to reinvent comedy for the future. Both a
contemporary spin on multi-camera comedy and an alternative development
platform, THE SHORT-COM COMEDY HOUR will feature four unique short-form
sitcoms – or “short-coms” – in a fast-paced hour-long broadcast. Each
short-com will feature both established and up-and-coming actors and
comedians in one-act scenes, creating a comedy showcase brimming with
today’s best, brightest and freshest voices.
“We are basically ripping open the traditional scripted comedy development process with THE SHORT-COM COMEDY HOUR,” said Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “Our end goal is to provide distinct comedy voices with a world-class platform to experiment, grow and perfect their ideas and to hopefully build them into mainstream comedy hits in the future. We’re looking forward to seeing what the untapped comedy community has to offer.”
The short-com development process will be as distinct as the end result, featuring hand-picked talent from the world of stand-up comedy. In an effort to open up the traditional development process, FOX will facilitate a creatively open environment for comedy talent to hone their voices and material within the context of their self-produced short-coms.
In addition to airing them as part of THE SHORT-COM COMEDY HOUR, FOX will commission the most fully realized of these scripted vignettes to series, helping to seed the future of the FOX multi-camera brand.
They are currently scouting in Montreal at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival.

Seinfeld Announces NYC Tour
JERRY SEINFELD BACK ON THURSDAY NIGHTS THIS FALL
A SPECIAL NEW YORK CITY FIVE-BOROUGH TOUR
Tickets on Sale Monday, July 30 at 10 am
Special Guest Colin Quinn
For the first time in 14 years, Jerry Seinfeld is presenting full performances of his signature stand-up comedy in New York City. Seinfeld will perform five stand-up shows – one in each New York City borough – on five Thursday nights this Fall.
Seinfeld, a New York native, got his start as a comedian in the City in the 1970s, but other than appearing at benefits and occasional short sets at local comedy clubs, he has not performed a full show in a NYC theater since his sold-out Broadway engagement, “I’m Telling You For The Last Time,” at the Broadhurst Theater in 1998, shortly after the final episode of his iconic TV show, Seinfeld.
" I was born in Brooklyn, went to school in Queens and started out as a comedian in Manhattan. I feel like New York City taught me how to be funny. I'm so excited to perform a special series of shows for my beloved home town," said Seinfeld.
Seinfeld’s five-borough performances will all fall on Thursday nights – the same as the television show that bore his name – and will feature special guest Colin Quinn, who Seinfeld directed in the hit Broadway show “Colin Quinn: Long Story Short” at the Helen Hayes Theater in 2010-11.
Tickets for all five-borough shows go on sale to the general public on Monday, July 30 at 10 am. All performances begin at 8pm.
