This week.....Sketchorama
Comedy of the Week - week beginning 3rd June 2013
Summary: "Sketchorama is a format for Radio 4 which offers the same popular showcase dynamic as stand-up shows, but purely for comedy sketch groups.
Sketchorama aims to bring hidden gems and established live acts to the airwaves offering a truly distinctive and ambitious show for Radio 4." (x)
Personal Opinion: This is brilliant for fans of sketch comedy as it give you a real taste of all different types. Definitely recommend for fans of John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme. My personal favourites from this series (it has already been on 4Extra so I've heard every episode) are the Beta Males, Wittank, Jonny & the Baptists and McNeill and Pamphilon.
Episode Guide: Series 2 is currently being broadcast on BBC Radio 4, on Wednesdays at 6:30pm GMT.
Each week the series 2 host, Thom Tuck (Probably best known for being a member of sketch troupe, The Penny Dreadfuls), invites sketch groups to display their talent. In each episode the sketch groups are:
Episode 1 (iPlayer) - the Beta Males, Shirley & Shirley, and Jonny & the Baptists Episode 2 (iPlayer) - So On and So Fourth, That Pair and Sheeps Episode 3 (iPlayer) - McNeill and Pamphilon, Barbershopera and Wittank Episode 4 (on Wed 19th June) - Endemic and Absolutely
Created and Produced by Gus Beattie
(I will add links for all the sketch groups when I'm not as busy with exams)
The little bit at the end: Information from here and here. This has not been proof read yet , so if there are any spelling or grammar errors please contact me, Thanks. Previous Comedy of the Week’s here. Any comments or suggestions drop something in my ask box.
There are still episodes of some of my previous Comedy of the Weeks, Watson and Oliver available on iPlayer.
Jonny and the Baptists - You Are Not A Pub
a homage to the pub
(I probably listen to this song far too much)
Must stop listening to Sketchorama in the college library. I keep laughing and think I look a little weird.....
