York/Yorkshire sketch

Hello -

I'm a guy living in York who's trying to start up a sketch group. I've been writing sketches for some time and have at least a solid handful that I believe are decent and (with some work) achievable. At the moment I'm focusing on recording some sketches, but am interested in doing something live as well. I've got some high quality camera equipment that I co-own with a guy who has the technical know-how.

Anyway. What I DON'T have is people to collaborate with. Rather than searching out actors on StarNow or some other casting website, I'm wanting to start up a legit sketch group with which to write and perform. Ideally I'd like the group to contain 4-5 people and a mix of genders, but I'll take what I can get and build from there.

As mentioned, I live in York, so anyone from or near there who's interested in having a proper go at getting a sketch thing going, I'd simply love to hear from you. If you're apprehensive and would like to read a sample script or whatever before progressing, then I'll more than happily comply. I look forward to hearing from whoever.

Cheers and thanks,

Josh.

Are you at all familiar with the comedy scene in York? Because I know Peter Marshall and Peter Brush have been trying out some sketch stuff recently, so they'd be the people to contact I reckon. Although they've both got pretty distinct styles they like to work in...

If you're looking for people, first port of call is to go talk to the Can't Sing Can't Dance Don't Care team. http://cscddc.blogspot.co.uk/

Hello,
This sounds interesting. I live in Sheffield, and am a budding comedy writer/performer who's looking to get involved with something like this.

Would you be interested in a Yorkshire Sitcom Trials? I think there are writers wanting to do it, and I know there are actors who could be found. The punters? If you build it, they will come.

If you want to do it, I can help. Who's interested?

I don't feel quite so special now Kev.
