George Fouracres & Celeste Dring

Upload with Nina Das Gupta

Available for 31 days

We're celebrating the best creatives where we live with Nina Das Gupta, including: • The stars of SNL UK who have helped put the Black Country on the map. Hear from Willenhall's George Fouracres and Wombourne's Celeste Dring, who have gone from cracking jokes at the same school to performing live in front of millions every week! • How to kick-start a career in comedy: Discover how you could pick up a bursary of up to £10,000 and a grant of £5,000 with an exclusive BBC scheme that's on hand to champion the comics, actors, editors, directors and writers of tomorrow. • They're Sutton Coldfield's wife and husband West End power-couple! Get to know theatre veterans Katie Leeming and Andy Reiss, now based in Stone and shaping the nation's next stage success stories. • He's Birmingham's king of alternative comedy, running his own at Cherry Red's. Discover Richard Dadd (not the guy from Baby Reindeer), who's coming to the Rik Mayall Comedy Festival and producing the exact blend of anarchy and characters the Young Ones legend would approve of. • Plus for all fans of the classic Hammer House Of Horror - you'll love Worcestershire filmmaker Kieran Edwards. Hear how he combines a busy nine-to-five with incredible creations, exceptional home-made sound effects and lashings of fake blood. Upload your work for a chance to get on the BBC.
