At long last all can be revealed Dear Listener - today Project X, aka constantcomedy.com goes live! What is it I hear you ask? Imagine YouTube, but devoted specifically towards original comedy performance.
We've created a site in which people can upload clips to their heart's content - but they're moderated so only original comedy gets though, (it's not another site full of old Knightrider episodes or 'baby falls off toilet' home videos) - and rather than just having the clips simply rated on a basic 'star' system like other sites we have a 'live stream' on the main page which syncs you up with everybody else watching - you can interact with everybody else viewing, and vote clips 'on or off' on a second by second basis.
The site's in beta, (we don't launch officially to the public for a few more weeks), so still rough round the edges, with plenty of improvements, functionality and features to be added but it's still chock full of the ha-ha.
So head over and have a look - and if you're feeling funny then sign-up and upload a clip yourself!
(Clip above: Dan Wright and Steve Marsh, below we have the Pros from Dover, Gemma Arrowsmith, Chapman and Crompton and Myfanwy)
I'll check this out tonight! Now if only you could bother Steve Jobs enough for an Apple TV plugin...

Absolutely. We need to stream this stuff to the TV, (though I see 'full-screen' mode has just been implemented for the constantcomedy vids this afternoon - so that's cool).
I'm really excited we've launched - am looking forward to what people upload, (all the vids you see there now we're shot/edited by myself so you can imagine I can't wait to see some new stuff! :)

That "Obi Wan / Luke Skywalker" vid is one my early favorites....top notch.

Yeah, we shot that one on the banks of the Thames over in Putney - glad it worked out ok!

You must be feeling so un-funny having been soaked in comedy for so long. And with the Edinburgh Festival coming up, no doubt your gag reflex will be exercised again soon!

I'm feeling funnier and funnier Alan. Just wait till you hear Chapter 68 - The Death of Wayne Van Ry.

Site looks great - good work Jett.
By the way are you doing anything at Edinburgh or just there to spectate?

Not doing anything on the Fringe - but will be podcasting daily! (we'll see if that happens) - on my adventures in EDENBURG.
