Channel 4 to launch online sketch series
Channel 4 is launching a new series of comedy sketches across its social media platforms.
The 12 shorts, which will launch very soon features an impressive range of comedy talent including Nick Helm, Jen Brister, Hal Cruttenden, Mark Silcox, Kemah Bob, Jack Barry and many more.
Sketches include female pilots navigating sexism, secret agents on a budget and the pitfalls of investing in gunge- which might explain the involvement of children's television presenter Dave Benson Phillips.
The series is being made by new production company Daddy's SuperYacht, and head writer Charlie Dinkin – one of the directors of the company told the British Comedy Guide: ‘Filming such a diverse and ambitious range of sketches during this period has been a real trial by fire, but I couldn't be more excited to show the world what the Daddies are all about
‘Big thanks to Channel 4 for giving us so much support and creative freedom: it's literally been a lifeline for us as a brand new indie during this period, as well as for so many amazing comics and writers who we've been lucky enough to get on board.’
Other comedians writing and acting in the shorts include: Catherine Bohart, Chloe Petts, Amy Gledhill, Chris Cantrill, Glamrou, Sunil Patel, Esther Manito, Joz Norris, Joe Sutherland, Will Duggan, Jordan Gray, Jason Forbes, David Mills, Alison Thea-Skot, Patrick Spicer, Helen Duff, Nick Elleray, Sikisa, Leo Reich, Camille Ucan, Sy Thomas, Kat Bond, Ania Magliano, Katie Pritchard and Egg (aka Emily Lloyd Saini and Anna Leong Brophy),
