Sara Pascoe's Guessable? is being adapted for the US, British Comedy Guide can exclusively reveal.

Comedians appearing in the American remake have yet to emerge. But programme makers Tuesday's Child are currently developing a non-broadcast pilot, believed to be for Comedy Central in the States.

As BCG first reported in September, the British original will return for a fourth series on Comedy Central in Britain, with John Kearns reprising his role as co-host on the parlour game-cum-panel show and Alan Davies and Darren Harriott returning as team captains.

Meanwhile Pascoe, who begins her stand-up tour, Success Story, next Thursday at the Beck Theatre in Hayes, has confirmed that her sitcom Out Of Her Mind will not be returning for a second series.

Broadcast on BBC Two in 2020 and co-starring Juliet Stevenson, Fiona Button, Cariad Lloyd and Ade Edmondson, the loosely autobiographical comedy was generally praised by critics.

"I'm really glad I got to make it," Pascoe told Richard Herring on his RHLSTP podcast. "If you make want you want to make, sometimes it's not for lots of people, it's for a few people and you just have to go 'it's so great that anyone watched it or anyone liked it and it's alright, it's ok'.

"Because you can't do, 'what would be more popular, what should I have made?' Because that was all that I was going to make, was going to be that show."
