Elijah is one of the selected cohort for the BBC Comedy Collective 2026.

The BBC Comedy Collective is a supercharged bursary scheme supporting 10 emerging writers, producers, directors and editors from across the UK who want to build a career in scripted comedy.

The scheme has a track record of helping new talent break into the industry. Previous bursary winners have gone on to secure script commissions, sign with agents, produce radio shows and create BAFTA‑winning television.

The Comedy Collective is designed to give up‑and‑coming creatives a structured, supported and paid route into the world of comedy production and development.

Announcement pending.
