Union JACK Radio – a nationwide DAB station which dubs itself as “playing the best of British” – broadcasts short comedy snippets between the songs. Sometimes you’ll hear licensed archive clips from the likes of Blackadder, but often it’s a pre-recorded topical gag read out by the station’s continuity voice.

November 2019 examples include:

“We had a snap election once. Doctor snapped it back in place though”

“Fireworks Night and Union JACK’s sex life have a lot in common – lots of noise, it’s over in two minutes and the pets get terrified…”

The station pays £3 per line they accept. They’ll email you back if they opt to use any of your gags.

Send your gags to scripts@unionjack.co.uk – ideally all in the one email. You can put them in the body of the email, or attach a document.
