Helping to put on a monthly satirical comedy show is an interesting job. 

Last week we were at the Brunswick in Hove, a nice intimate venue. It’s a pub but with a large side room. They have regular music gigs, but I think we were the first comedy they’ve had there.  As a result their sound system is ace, but the lighting rig needs a bit of work. 

We left our usual debris of crumpled scripts, running orders and balloons (how else would a grown man play Angela Merkel?) and a rip-roaring and always slightly inappropriate time was had by all. One of my favourite sketches had to be George Osbourne trying to re-brand himself. 

Secretary: “Why not try telling a joke?”

Osbourne: “Ok, I’ve got one. Knock knock”

“Who’s there?”

“Not your carer anymore.”

Beautiful

And now we’re having a crack at a TV pilot. Won’t be as topical due to the time scales, but it’ll still be satirical and have a definite local feel. Scripts are coming in and of course we’ve got a healthy back catalogue to chose from as well so it promises to be a good’en if we can pull it off. I’ll be recording our progress on here – the laughs, the tears, the tantrums, and the questionable accents, all in glorious HD.
