British Comedy Guide

Alright stop! Collaborate and listen.

Afternoon all,

So I'm looking to collaborate with someone. Someone funny.

I'm 25, I work for a TV production company (though sadly, not one that does comedy, yet), and live in London. I'd hope you were of a not too dissimilar age.

Course, we'd also have to have at least vaguely similar tastes - I like Gervais, Curb, Boosh, Not Going Out, Police Squad, Early Doors, wordplay, grimness, monotony and dwarf-porn - but it you're the kind of person who has great ideas at a rate of knots, but perhaps struggles to put them down with any kind of cohesion or structure I might be the man for you.

Alternatively if you can plot the shit out of things but need gags, come this way.

You might also need someone to tell you most of your stuff is shit. Let's face it, most of the stuff on this site really stinks, but I believe I can ween the vaguely passable material out of your doubtless 'random' mind.

In terms of style, my writing is a fusion of the naturalism of a Gervais with the all-out gag-ness of Vine/Mack. Of course it is not remotely as good as either. With regards to content, I'm more of a sitcom man than sketch but will consider anything. And I certainly aint no performer.

Anyways, if anyone is remotely keen then get in touch on stur@originalproductionsuk.com with maybe a liccle bit of your work and a bit about yourself and we'll see what happens.

Word to your mother. Let's make dreams come true.

You know if people keep insulting the stuff on this forum I might stop writing on it.

Then you'll be sorry.

Possibly.

What does "word to your mother" mean?

Thank God you're here to help. We're saved!

Oh yes rescue us from ourselves. Rolling eyes

You should start small and work up to a big wind up......

Let me see... who should the first comedy rehab be performed on?

Any suggestions?

It's a Vanilla Ice reference.

To be fair, Lab Rats had you laughing too.

Way to make frineds Stu! I'm not saying you're not correct, however. But still.

Well I don't want to point the finger but he might be in this picture somewhere.

Yup.

What is a comedy rehab anyway?

Thanks. So does it actually have any meaning? Or is it just something that the young people are saying these days in an ironic manner?

mmmmmmm where comedians go to get rehabbed to be funnier. I think they serve loads of booze and drugs at them.

You know what I mean; this place is a wildly concocted comedy melting pot into which members whimsically toss their ill-considered ingredients in order that others may do the job they should have done themselves before posting:

'Errr...this is shit, maybe I'll think about it for ten more minutes and actually take out that line about 'chickens with screwdrivers having sex with teapots on crack'.

Actually, wait...

Pah comedy is to important to waste time being funny.
