‘Set List’ has been a cult hit in the US for a long time. It was
also a cult hit in Edinburgh last summer and at The Soho
Theatre. Acts included Josie Long, Rich Hall, Rufus Hound,
Jimmy Carr and Mark Watson.

‘Set List’ is produced by the amazing Paul Provenza and
Barbara Romen. A Whose Line Is It Anyway?-style challenge
for stand-up comedy! Comedy pros are handed an original,
never-before-seen set list of topics, partially written by the
audience. From this they create spontaneous, original stand-
up on the spot. Each new set list is projected onscreen, so
the audience follows along and gets inside the minds of
comedians to see how each crafts their own particular style
of comedy right in the moment of creation. A playground for
the comedy brain!

Set List has now been commissioned to be made into a TV
series!
Sky Atlantic has ordered 14 half-hour episodes of the show,
which presents comedians with a series of unusual words of
phrases around which they have to generate a spontaneous
set.

Comics lined up to take part include Tim Minchin, Reggie
Watts, Robin Williams, Johnny Vegas, Todd Barry, Frank
Skinner and Dara O Briain.

It will be filmed in London, San Francisco and Los Angeles,
with five US comics being flown to the UK to perform to
British audiences, and five British comics making the opposite
trip across the Atlantic.
