Carlton for ITV1 (HTV) West, 13th February - 11th April 2003 (8 episodes)
Synopsis
Late-night localised TV version of stage contest for new comic talent (and maybe, the odd slightly familiar face - e.g. Richard Vranch of the Comedy Store Players).
The first parts of two lengthy sketches were performed live to a small studio audience in Bristol each week. A phone vote was held to decide the winning sketch, which would then be performed right through to the end.
The then-looming cutbacks at ITV West appeared to have hastened the show's early departure.
