Sitcom Geeks

Sitcom Geeks James Cary and Dave Cohen chat about the first 10 pages of our sitcom Ivy View on their latest podcast...

We sent our latest sitcom Ivy View into Sitcom Geeks James Cary and Dave Cohen. They took a look at our first 10 pages and chatted about the script in their latest podcast. We very much enjoyed listening in and found their criticism very constructive and insightful.

Being reviewed on their podcast was the first proper feedback we’d received on Ivy View, and the Sitcom Geeks picked up on some…
