Well that escalated quickly. We all learnt a lot about ourselves in this one. The good news is that we survived and are feeling good now.
We do not in any way recommend trying this yourself.

If you have some comedy scripts that you have written and want to have them discussed/developed (anonymously or otherwise), then this is for you! If you want to see scripts developed on live stream, then this is also for you...
Here's how it works:
You send a script (sketch length please, no War and Peace jobs), I have a look over it and come up with some ideas or points, to send back to you. I pick one or two (depending on time) from those sent in to discuss on live stream (with ...
2021-08-10 12:16:43 +0000 UTC View PostDear Diary,
Lorraine is in the toiletries aisle, or at least it WAS the toiletries aisle until they started switching everything in the supermarket around. You actually can’t find anything here and it takes way longer to shop than normal. It doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it would, the switching around of stuff, probably because this is the social event of my week these days and time isn’t an issue, but I still use it as an opportunity to bond with elderly strangers ...

2021-07-21 17:42:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe following is an excerpt from the Diary of Colin Bowman, a man of no particular interest.
Dear Diary
My name is Colin Bowman and this is the first entry into my diary, so I’ve written 'dear diary', am I stuck with that now? what else could you write anyway, “dear me” that just sounds like ‘dear me’ in the exasperated sense. Why am I writing a diary? In many ways I feel that life can become a blur, moments blending into one another time one glass of clou...

This is a really silly sketch, honestly its so stupid I love it. That's two weeks in a row where we've had parts of a sketch that haven't changed an iota from the first draft, which is very rare, AND they made us laugh straight away. Bonus!
I arrive at the same time as Hog on this fine Friday morning, but he runs in ahead of me shouting " you're late! you're late haha" and slamming the doors in my face. Bold boy.
I do love a good early morning improv.
My favourite one to do ...

Sometime around June 2020, I wrote a spoken word piece that we developed into a song "Why the hell did lockdown have to end". This is the original pitch I sent to the lads which I found recently on my computer! I think it possibly captures the life of an introvert better than the song does. I hope you like it! It definitely has some lines that I wanted to get into the song but they wouldn't fit the melody

A few years ago, we made a rule. The first read through of a sketch is for enjoyment, and the second is for working on. We brought it in so as the reader of their sketches wouldn't be staring at two frowned faces deep in thought, ones who think the sketch is funny and 'works' despite not cracking a smile! In a way it was to protect the reader, to protect their ego and give them the joy of hearing the laugh, after all isn't that the reason we're all here in the first place? It also allows the ...

When you're asked to go out and buy a prop for a sketch, something that looks 'Funny', the pressure is on. You can create a scripted joke yourself, craft it how you like, perform it how you want it done, and keep changing it until it's funny but with a prop, your choices are limited. It is what it is. Inflexible. It looks like, what it looks like and it's either funny or it's not.
The local shops are your first limiting factor, their stock narrows your choices. More often than not, they...

Myself and technology had a hot date yesterday. We laughed, we cried, we fell out with each other, we made up. It was all very dramatic. It was all in the name of creating a better live stream and you can see the results above. Will it work tomorrow at 5pm for the Vaudevillain Hour, you'll have to tune in to find out at 5pm Irish.
