According to Peel, “I’m delighted to be given the opportunity by Victor Harwood to speak at this important event and to present the cluster of Northern Ireland companies that are developing bleeding edge broadband-enabled web solutions. I have already had considerable interest from LA based firms that are active in the digital content space who want to hear the ‘Northern Ireland story’. I also hope to be able to hook up with representatives from other regional digital media clusters – such as SE England.”

ConstantComedy is a fully interactive 24/7 online comedy service which allows users to watch content together and express their views by voting in real time. It’s also a powerful social networking platform which brings together comedy fans and performers from all over the world in a unique online space dedicated to comedy performance. The website features a mix of professional and amateur content, specially created and performed for the internet audience.
At a time when consumption of online entertainment continues to surge, there is a huge demand for new comedy. ConstantComedy is designed to meet that need and those of the comedy fan, the professional comedian and the amateur comedy performer.
ConstantComedy is one of six showcase projects that have been selected to demonstrate the best of Northern Ireland’s creative digital talent to the world in association with crea8ivity.com. Crea8ivity.com launched earlier this year to attract interest in Northern Ireland as a creative digital hub and to stimulate local creative & IT talent to seize the vast and emerging commercial opportunities that the global demand for online content presents. The crea8ivity.com web site was built by and is maintained by Quadriga Consulting.
At the core of ConstantComedy is an exciting new way to enjoy online content – Synchronized Interactive Comedy – a breakthrough technology which ensures that you and your friends are watching and voting for the same video at the same time (second by second). Each video gets shown for 20 seconds before voting starts. After that, if the crowd rating drops below 30% for more than five seconds, the video is voted off. While you’re watching, you can post live comments – to be seen instantly by other viewers.
Anyone can upload their performance onto this service, monitor crowd ratings and build up a fan base, You can also browse the video archive and bookmark and share your favourite videos with friends.
Phil Morrow, MD of Belfast based Wild Rover Productions, is excited about the possibilities that ConstantComedy offers performers and fans:
“This is a great new venue for both viewers and makers of comedy – the internet has liberated performers – if you’re funny, you can get your stuff out there and be seen by a worldwide audience – and if you love watching comedy, then this is the place where you can meet like-minded people and discover new acts together”
Quadriga Consulting, in conjunction with PRSmith Marketing Communications in London has been retained by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment to promote Northern Ireland’s creative digital talent. The web site was launched today – Quadriga Consulting has developed the content and edits the site. Check out the YouTube video taster for more information on what crea8vity.com is all about.
