Jessica Stevenson searching for Simon Pegg and co!
Calling all aspiring comedians and comedy writers – I’m looking to start a comedy group in the Swindon area. Ideally this will be a small, friendly group who meet to discuss their writing, what makes them laugh and possibly do some collaborative work. However, it will probably end up a bunch of misfits talking about what they watched last night! This will primarily be a social occasion; a chance to meet likeminded people with the same interests but could also be a good networking opportunity. If you are involved, or would like to be, in any aspect of comedy; writing, directing, acting, stand up (or fall down, depending how good you are) and you would like to be part of a group please contact me, Leah, via email at leah.bevan@gmail.com.
List of my favourites and influences but this is not exhaustive and everyone is welcome; Spaced, Green Wing, Black Books, Peep Show, Smoking Room, 15 Storeys High, Smack the Pony, Drop the Dead Donkey, The Office, Lead Balloon, Fawlty Towers, Big Train, Mitchell and Webb look, Love Soup, Hyperdrive…
Alternatively anyone want to work virtually and share ideas I'd love to hear from you, just drop me a line with any random musings, there's nothing I like more than having a laugh!
