British Comedy Guide, 23rd August 2017Avatards close to being commissioned
Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong's new production company are close to securing their first production deal. Their company, which is now called Various Artists, is close to signing a six-part deal for their pilot of a gamer comedy called Avatards written by Jon Brown.
Radio Times, 1st May 2017The latest in Channel 4's well regarded (if daftly titled) Comedy Blaps series, this three-parter also might be its most ambitious. Avatards follows a group of gaming obsessives as they play a role-player in the vein of Warcraft, switching between the "meat space" of the real world and their CGI selves. If that doesn't pique your interest, the fact that Avatards is exec-produced by Peep Show duo Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong should do.
