A new survey called The Laugh List has announced its first annual selection of the year’s best unproduced comedy screenplays. The list, launched in June, is presented in association with Just for Laughs Montreal, a major comedy festival, and its ComedyPRO marketplace. The inaugural edition recognizes 10 screenplays chosen from a larger field of submissions. The Laugh List aims to spotlight promising comedy writing that has not yet been produced, providing visibility to emerging and established writers. The selection process involved industry professionals, though specific judges or criteria were not detailed. The announcement was made during the ComedyPRO marketplace, an industry event that runs alongside the Just for Laughs festival. This first list sets the stage for future editions, with organizers planning to continue the survey as an ongoing recognition of unproduced comedy scripts. The selected screenplays were not named in the initial announcement, but the list is expected to draw attention from producers and studios looking for fresh comedic material. The Laugh List hopes to become a key resource for discovering new comedic voices in the entertainment industry. The initiative reflects the growing interest in celebrating screenwriting before production, similar to other annual lists for dramatic scripts. By focusing on comedy, it fills a niche in the industry. The selected writers and their scripts will likely gain more exposure through the association with Just for Laughs. The first edition’s success may encourage more submissions in future years.
