College satire show looking for contributors

Student cartoonist Alexandra Bowman has put out an open call for contributors to a comedy webshow out of Georgetown University.

“Are you a college student interested in working in political satire, video production, and/or comedy writing? The Hilltop Show is in urgent need of writers, video editors, on-camera actors, and researchers.

“The political comedy webseries, based at Georgetown University, with a team made up of students from all over the country, is a blend of SNL and Last Week Tonight, with a now-enormous audience and unlimited material to work with these days.

“If you’re interested, send your resume and a few sentences about why and how you’d like to be involved to hilltopshow@gmail.com.”

Here’s a link to their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUaU4GvbXOuUtWR9Nl1rpnA
