Hi
Looking for somebody to co-write/simply come up with ideas for a new surreal sketch show I have decided to brainstorm for. No further than simply mapping out a few characters so far. It's in the vein of 2000s alternative type comedy eg Garth Marenghi, Bruiser, Snuff Box, Mighty Boosh with elements of more non-sequitur, buffoonish humour eg Vic and Bob.
If anyone is interested, please PM me...
Sounds fun, my influences have always leaned to the more obscure way mixed with satire/spoof. I've been writing sketches since 2001 and worked with Matt Berry very briefly at the chamber of Horrors. So what's best way to start this off? pub, pint, chat? here's far too many things comical/weird that I've done over the years
odd audio skits
truth in shopping

Python spoof

Smoking?

plus I do IMPROV comedy, so work well with others to get laughs
and write sitcoms constantly for competition, sometimes doing well ish

plus lots more, very keen to work/write with someone again
i can imagine the 'guilty pleasure' skit on something like Bruiser or That Mitchell & Webb Look... very good. Have you ever seen Bruiser? I'm keen to work with someone who knows the stuff I'm inspired by. Elements of surreal and dark humour fused with satire ... could I get your email or something to discuss ideas?
