Everything on Comedy Soup - apart from Adam Buxton's video below - was created by the website's users. Although we are no longer accepting new submissions, there are still lots of handy resources here for you to use in making your own comedy. So have a laugh and, if you feel inspired, we hope you'll have a go yourself.

If you do, here's a list of alternative sites where you could submit your creations.

A few words from Ken

Hilarity expert Ken Korder (Adam Buxton) welcomes you to Comedy Soup with a tour of BBC Comedy, handing out chuckle tips along the way.

Play Part One Play Part Two

Enjoy a world of contemporary comedy that is sometimes adult and irreverent, occasionally juvenile and irrelevant, but always original.

You can also download some of the pictures, sound effects and video clips we've released from the archive to use in making your own funny stuff.
