The return of Johnny Titter

INTERNET COMEDY PHENOMENON JOHNNY TITTER IS HAVING A MEETING WITH COMEDY AGENT TONY STEVERSON

Johnny:
To be honest Tony, these days I'm having a bit of a crisis of confidence with the old Comedy game

Tony:
As with anything like this, you've just got to put the work in Johnny! And judging by your CV you've been very busy indeed.

Johnny:
Well Judging by my CV I also wrote Only Fools & Horses so I wouldn't take all of that as gospel.

Tony:
But I've seen your stuff online, I think it's pretty good. What was that sketch show the one with the Chair... Chunky Munter

Johnny:
I scrapped it after two sketches, it didn't go down very well on the BCG

Tony:
The BCG?

Johnny:
You know the one, count to 10, count to a million, name a sitcom beginning with X

Tony:
Oh yes, Chortle 2! Don't worry about what they think.

Johnny:
I know, I know but Tony you've got to help me! I don't know how to take that next big step. I want to go from aspiring writer with a few open door credits to a fully fledged writer with a few open door credits.

Tony:
Johnny I think you need to start writing again just for fun. Don't worry about the fame or money.

Johnny:
That's easy for you to say, but I've got a mortgage & a feedback fee from the Sitcom mission that needs paying off.

Tony:
Well you know what you need to do if you really want to get anywhere, Insult some producers.

Johnny:
I thought you were supposed to smarm up to them?

Tony:
Well that's a mistake a lot of amateurs make, the best way is to really be an arsehole towards them, if Tommy Cooper hadn't called Bill Cotton a C**t he'd have never left Tescos.

Johnny:
So what are you suggesting then? Should I e mail some profanities to one of them?

Tony:
No! The best thing is just to put some shit through their letterbox

Johnny:
Perfect! I've got just the script.

Unfortunately, all too true.

Excellent, now to figure out what/who it's based on Whistling nnocently

Is this an example of "shit through the producer's letterbox"? :P

Maybe, but shit is very subjective.

I'd hate to be your gastroenterologist...

Good pay-off line.

I'm curious as to what the intention of this sketch is. I don't mean that in an insulting way. Just wondering how Steve views the person(s) the sketch is based on and what reaction he's looking for.

Possibly that sounds bitchy. May amend.

It's just meant to be a bit of fun, It's injokey & not aimed at or based on anyone in particular.
The reaction I was hoping for was maybe a few :D

That's cool. A savage (though non-malicious) attack on some of the posters here would be interesting (not that anyone deserves it as such).

Maybe one day someone will write a sketch that makes fun of me and/or my work (which would be interesting and slightly scary). Here's hoping.

And like the in-jokes. What strange lives we all lead.

P.S. All hail Stott. I couldn't write for IT Crowd if my life depended on it.

Are there such a thing as comedy agents? Aren't they just called agents or literary agents (in the world of books)?

Well there's probably agents who specialise in that industry, Tim.

Top cupboard. Redolent of a young Tim Walker.
