The show is called She-larious for Oxygen Network and Endemol with the 'win' being a development deal with either the production company or the network. We are looking for the next 'funny female TV pioneer' and a true breakout voice who possesses a tremendously broad creative skill set. They want to put a spotlight on this innovator who is a funny woman first and foremost, deserving of much press and supports once selected. The companies are really behind this show and are driving that total machine to make it happen and unearth the actress gems who deserve to pop. Prototypes of personalities that establish new 'popular tones' and carve new inroads in this field include females like Sarah Silverman, Molly Shannon (and males like Jamie Kennedy, Tom Green, Sasha Baron Cohen...)

The show is cast-contingent and will aim to consist of 8-9 ladies who will compete in challenges that test their creative abilities. That could be it creating a short film w/in a given window of time, writing a sketch and having it performed, creating a music video, etc. Each task will be assigned and competitions will be in teams and also by individuals.

This is a hybrid reality style show :-
All will live together in a house in LA for 3-4 weeks in May/June.
All will be given per diems, living costs and a stipend to be determined. The obvious idea is to follow and help boost someone who deserves a starring role in this arena...using this as the launching pad. We hope this show can serve someone the way Idol ultimately served Jennifer Hudson (though awarded in another field).

Callbacks will be on Sunday, March 11 :-
One would need to bring standard pic/res but also any press that makes your package most interesting and think about what 'your show' would be were you to pitch it. No need to write it but we will discuss it on camera. Come 'camera ready' as these audition snips may ultimately broadcast so you want to look your 'brand's' authentic best.

Audition is :-
An easy intro, A 30 sec discussion of your total 'creative self' and the brand you are seen as by audiences and what your 'voice' is Then you'll do 3 mins that show us your creative funniest stuff... your choice as to what. Lastly, we'll do a bit more conversation and finally a quick hair of associations/improv style (game or tbd).
