SURPRISINGLY SMOOTH SUPPORTERS
-
In collaboration with Whyte & Mackay and Punk Creative, we took a comedic approach to smooth things over between the nations that make up the British and Irish Lions ahead of their tour. We say ‘smoothing things over’, but it was more about making sure each nation got an equal amount of abuse. Except for England, of course.
The videos received over 100,000 views on YouTube alone and were a smash hit across these fair isles (but mainly outside England).
GIFTED AND GALLUS
-
Featuring some of the most gallus talent around. Gifted and Gallus features five friends who are obsessed with social media and have a habit of pushing the boundaries of acceptability. The results are often infectious.
Our Senga sketch from this series has had over 8 million online views!
ATHENA’S CANCEL CULTURE
-
Cancel Culture has empowered a generation. It affects everyone from the most famous to us regular folk, like the infamous cat bin lady.
Writer & Comedian Athena Kugblenu explores the modern world of offence through stand-up & sketches, delving into the rising phenomenon and its impact on society.
MISGUIDED MEDITATIONS
-
Led by narrator Mina Anwar, Misguided Meditations is a loving spoof of the popular guided meditation sleep stories which takes listeners on a delightfully surreal late-night adventure that descends into a total nightmare cringe-fest.
Delve into the Enchanted Wood and rediscover your inner peace or try, if you can,to get five minutes in without laughing.
SKETCHTOPIA
-
What is modern British life?

Fags, Mags & Bags
-
Set in a Scots-Aisan corner shop, Fags, Mags, and Bags is one of Radio 4’s most popular scripted comedies with hilarious shop-based shenanigans and over-the-counter philosophy, courtesy of Ramesh & his trusty sidekick Dave.
