Interaction with consoles and computers elicits a lot of responses, but laughter isn’t usually one of them. Why is this?

Is it that we haven’t yet found the Buster Keaton or John Cleese of the medium? Or is there something inherent in the nature of interactive media that simply doesn’t lend itself to comedy in the same way that linear media do so well?

The BBC is setting out to prove that clicking can be a laugh. This session is the first stage in a process that will offer up to six teams the opportunity to develop an idea for a cross-platform comedy show for interactive tv, the web and mobile platforms.

The session will bring together people from the independent production, games and digital media sectors to talk about comedy and interactivity, come up with some ideas and, with luck, have a laugh.
