Barely Informed Recording
Are you ready to get involved with a comedy project that highlights your wit?
The stage is a small greenscreen studio with a desk. The show is all about you and the performance you deliver. Barely Informed is a comedy project that takes the viewers on a rollercoaster of stories, that you write. It is a program with a variety of news people, who probably should have gone into a different profession. It's a not a real news show, but it is delivered as one.
How it works
You write 3-5 short news stories that are completely not true, well maybe mostly not true. You can deliver them alone or with a co-host or guest that you bring with you. You take the episode in whatever direction you wish. Once you have your script, we can get you signed up.
You will be be working closely with the NCM team to create this live-edited program….hopefully in one take. Don’t worry, we will help you through that part.
There is a small fee to participate in this program. You can sign up for one or as many episodes as you like. Think of this as building your highlight reel in real-time. The more you do, the better you will get. Cost is $25 per episode.
Don’t miss out getting on our schedule. Send us a request (below) and we will reach out.
*Volunteer with NCM and don’t pay a dime. Check out our Swap Hours program.
