Human Statue

Unlikely I realise, but does anyone know a human statue working in the London area who might be interested in being in a sketch?

Nope sorry. A class request though, we should set-up a swap shop for props. and unusual resources.

I have access to a Welsh man, 3 feet of copper wire and a childs bike.

The gauntlet is down. I challenge you to make a sketch utilising those objects.

Actually, this could be a fantastic idea. Kind of a Ready, Steady, Sketch.

Just go down covent garden/ south bank, chuck in a 10p whilst marveling at their stillness and ask. imagine most are out of work actors so you should be ok.

Hard to strike up a conversation with a human statue I'll bet.

"Watcha doin'?"
"Being perfectly still... d'oh!"

Even harder with an animal statue.

Statues of dogs won't fetch for love nor money.

tell you what I need to find a granny (to film) ((no not like that)) if you can source me one, I'll get you your statue.

I like, and good name!

Hmmmmm, Ok Huw Edwards on a child's bike is just damn funny, no matter which way you look at it. And the only copper wire joke I know is an old Billy Connelly one. Something about copper wire being invented by two Scotsmen fighting over a penny.

You want to court the attention of a human statue? Have you not seen Hot Fuzz?

Or Doctor Who.

Hate bloody statues now.
