Hello you comedy chancers.
I am new here - a small, scared, tiny water rodent in need some writers of a very high standard to send me some sketches around the below premise:
-----
A small time TV presenter, let's call him Dennis, is keen to make progress in his career, but he has a big dilemma - his latest project, a regional 'country ways'-type production, makes him sick. He's bored by the quirky history, disgusted by the strange customs and bemused by the crazy characters that lurk in the country. We know this because this show occasionally features his comments and arguments with his producer / camaraman before and between takes (we see this raw footage as well as the edited film). Nevertheless, he must plough on. That's the set up and pay off .
-----
I'm not after an overarching story; this is essentially a sketch show rather than a sitcom, but the common thread is this sort of character. So please send me your sketches that loosely follow this idea. Stretch the premise a bit if you like. I won't run off with your ideas. What I may do is, with your blessing, film them and submit them to the Comedy Lab via a production company -if they like what we do. Any subsequent success could obviously lead to writing credits, more work, cash, groupies etc etc.
PM me with your short sketches / outlines / suspicious lines of questioning - I would be most grateful for your input.
Much love
DrVole.
