Sure.
We all act for a living. Myself and my writing partner Alex Finch were approached by a commercials director to write a few sketches.
He wanted to move more into television. We had had a few ideas, a sitcom that had jumped a few hurdles at the bbc and I had starred in a show for the BBC called Big Babies.
The other sketches (Clown, Cult etc) you see were our first venture (Bar the sitcom, which didn't get picked up in the end) into comedy writing.
We wrote about 12 sketches and those were the ones we liked the most could nab a location for or were hopefully the funniest.
We filmed them off our own back. A tiny budget and some cracking people offering us favours because they enjoyed the scripts too.
We then uploaded them to Facebook and our YouTube page. Sites like Comedy.co.uk liked, enjoyed and supported them. (Massive thanks)
They eventually got into a couple of production companies. Hatrick being one of the who gave us 1k to shoot some stuff for there site.
So yes we have been fortnate with the response we have had. But the hard work and determination far out weighs 1K.

Glad you enjoyed. We are still finding our way but believe the newest stuff is more concise and in the right tone. Editing is an on going lesson. But not a bad start.
P.s. don't really see the Gervais thing.
Pps thanks for having a watch.
