Ficticious

Another live sketch Ficticious

Ok number 1 lose that f**king beard! With funny accents it makes you utterly incomprehensible. Burn the damn thing use make up or masking tape.

This is a really strong idea, it starts well. The build up to the reveal really works.

The banter and conclusion not so great.

I think if you stuck with one character as a straight man more it might be more powered. And have fun with it, what are the symptons of being ficitious? Whose imagination is he a figment of?

LOL not a hope, it's a cheap laugh and it always gets one, I find it odd that people are struggling with sound on these audio, admittedly if you are there in person it's a lot clearer (hence the people laughing in the right places).

Damn you guys have got to see us live, that's all there is too it :)

LOL. As I have said, only recently too you, thanks for being one of the few people who seem to regulary fail to ignore our stuff.

If it came across as sarcastic (in this instance) it wasn't meant to be ;)

No worries I think you've got some great ideas. But with this one the potential feels a little underexploited?

Well that's one person on here, as always between gigs our sketches are elvolving and this was our first run.

Another vote here for burning the beard! :)

I enjoyed this one more, although the last joke left me with more of a huh? than a laugh. As an expenses joke seemed out of place in a Doctor sketch.

You will be pleased to know that Danny's pet beard doesn't make any further appearences... it had a sudden tantrum brought on by creative differences and locked itself in the dressing cupboard...

It may well be appearing on Autumn watch later this year...

Bring back the beard! Cool

Wave

You can't get rid of the beard, I need it to help me get the character, I am naked without it (sometimes literaly). I will fight anyone who tries and I open with a cock punch.

It's my motivation, my acting thing, my 'holding the shirt collar' if you will.

Danny

Grow your own.

Be at 1 with your beard and your humanity.

That false beard is my hero. I appreciate the 'sign' is not such a good actor (a bit wooden, if you would) but the beard is.. charming! :)

Frankie Rage?

Really good idea and it builds nicely to the reveal, but you did not seem quite sure where to go with it from there. I think there is the potential to do more with this one,
