Call for token fat blokes..?

This is more a topic about appearing in sketches:

FACT: fat is funny.

I won't make exeptions for myself as I look just like my avatar which brings me to my observation about comedy sketches - a lot of them seem to feature at least one fat bloke. The lard-arse in Titty Bang Bang, Man Stroke Woman, Harry Enfield and a few others you may notice.

What are the chances of getting into sketches if you have that plus-size look, are there comedy agencies calling specially for that?

Sorry if I've offended anyone but you'll agree there does seem to be that theme with sketches.

I know what you mean?

Do you 2 want to join with me to form the ultimate fat guy comedy team.

We'd be popular all over the world, we could be called Big Mac, Fries, and a shake, or Bargain Bucket, or Fatboy 3.

It'd rule we'd be like a jolly, rotund version of The Goodies.

You'd probably be better applying to an 'extras' agency first.
There's agents advertising on starnow.com but I don't know how good they are.

Now you mention that, I did once write a sketch using three fat blokes which I hope to run again;

The 3 Daves

This could be the start of something big.... around the waist

Not from me. I'm nothing like the avatar. I hate blue!

My wife is 8.5 month pregnant. She's my ideal woman; I'm a Ruth Jones fan, if you know what I mean!

And yet, my tits and belly are still bigger than hers!

Count me in.
