Thread: It's not rocket surgery!

Hi there,

Me and my brother last weekend knocked together a comedy sketch show. We put a lot of effort into the making of this and would really love to hear your feedback on it.



I would love to hear your opinions on this whether they are good or bad. It will help us greatly when making our next one.

Thanks in advance of your help.

Steve.

I quite enjoyed it. I must have liked it because I watched the whole thing, I only expected to watch a bit and then switch it off!

Some of it was a bit obvious. The tennis sketch was a bit unoriginal. But then the obviousness, slap stick style worked really well for Jeff Sterling.

Liked the rock star too, some of that was pretty funny.

I'd like to see some more un-PC stuff, I like comedy that's a bit naughty and offensive. A Dave the Pedo character or similar. I was waiting all the way through for something really distasteful because you seem like you have a twisted sense of humour.

But well done, it looked like great fun to make.

It started off awful , then as it progressed it became obvious that it had peaked at the awful point.
All in all im insulted that i wasted my time in thinking for 1 minute that you would have anything to interest me in anyway.

Cheers for having a look chaps.

Glad you enjoyed some of it James. Lord AL, sorry you never liked it, I will try harder the next time!

I appreciate the fact you took some time to look at it and say a few words. Thanks.

Filming and editing was good and you act very well,not keen on the script though it isnt fast enough. People in general have short attention spans so you need to get them to laugh very fast right up front or shock them and keep skits short overall unless you can make them laugh with something they couldnt see coming then they'll stay for the next one.

If I wasnt asked to watch this I would of cut out 30 sec into the tennis sketch. Some of the other stuff was ok but too long without laughs.

You do a decent Scottish accent.

Reminded me of some of the early 1980's sketches we had here in Australia.

Ill try and find some for you .


Whats that bridge anyway? looks like a dinosaurs skeleton painted red.

I think they are Scottish!

I appreciate how hard it is too. It's not easy making comedy and having the balls to actually do it needs applauding on its own.

Comedy is easy....


Getting people to laugh is hard.

That was good. Liked it. You need a scantly dressed woman in it and it will be perfect.

Yeah I know it was a bit cruel ;

Bit like asking a pirate what sort of fish he goes after with that size hook or has he always kept birds.
