Jason Lewis lands BBC Three pilot

Internet comic Jason Lewis has landed a half-hour pilot with BBC Three based on his online sketches.

The show, The Jason Lewis Experience, will incorporate the best of his creations for the BBC website, including Jay Z trying to deal with one of his with his 99 Problems or Tinchy Strider lamenting on the challenges of getting with the ladies when you're tiny

BBC Three have today announced that they have commissioned Jason Lewis for a 30 minute new pilot after the success of his Sniggers With Attitude sketches on the BBC Comedy website.

BBC commissioner Cheryl Taylor said: ‘Jason is an incredibly talented young comedian, who has so far starred alongside some comedy veterans as well as building up a loyal online fan base for his own work. We are delighted to have commissioned a pilot featuring some of his best characters and look forward to a host of new ones."’

The one-off show will be filmed in September and air later this year.

Here is one of his latest online sketches:
