Nothing But A Comedy

Nothing But A Comedy is a character-driven comedy about two college students, Amy and Jamie, who are both different from the people around them, and their ever-growing friendship.


At its heart, Nothing But A Comedy is about friendship. As Amy and Jamie’s friendship develops, they meet new people who become an important part of their lives, which allows them to create a wider group of friendships and relationships that grow independently alongside theirs.  The series is warm, natural and funny, balancing everyday, student life comedy with moments of real and genuine emotion as its characters grow and figure out who they are and how they fit into the world.

The story is inspired by Amy Connor and Jamie Cotterill, who actually did meet at college in December 2021.  They devised the story based on their experiences at college, especially them constantly being told to 'grow up' and be more 'mature'. 

Fast forward...

To September 2026, when Jamie Cotterill wrote the first draft of the pilot episode.
