More on NextUp Comedy

Warning
Whilst working for a start-up can be hugely exciting, it’s really important to be aware that there is less job security on offer than there would be working for an established company or multinational.
We’re highly ambitious and we work to a short investment runway so are unable to guarantee absolutely that the company will succeed and/or that any role will be secure long-term. As a founding team we will do our utmost to succeed, but also to be transparent regarding potential hiccups.
We are utilising a government scheme called ‘Kickstart’. You can be a graduate, or school leaver, the key thing is that you are aged between 18-24 and claiming Universal Credit. To apply please submit your CV and a cover letter to lizzie@nextupcomedy.com
