About Jim Hooker
Pitch It Good – Live is a 60-minute comedy show hosted by Jim Hooker at the Basement. The Golden Lobes Best Live Show-nominated podcast brings its sixth live outing to Edinburgh, where comedians are handed a secret genre and told to pitch a movie live, unscripted, on the spot. Hosted by lifelong friends Jim Hooker and Paul Ormerod, the show features a rotating roster of guest comedians. Past guests include Sikisa, Josh James, Madeline Brettingham and Chantal Nash. Suitable for audiences aged 16 and over; audience participation is part of the experience.
Why see this show?
Unscripted movie pitches, secret genres, and comedians winging it in real time — the chaos is the point, and it works. The sixth live outing of a podcast that keeps drawing guests back for more. Come for the beautiful, stupid chaos.
