While you're busy getting your tickets for our next show, Groundhog Jack has a little proposal for you:
THE HARBINGERS OF GOOF

A Bristol-based comedy sketch r***e - blending the stupid low-brow with the pompous high-brow. The sketches will be: character monologues, two-person relationship scenes, mini-narratives, parody/satire, one-joke scenes, group scenes, songs, surreal performance art, playfully toying with the audience etc.

We're looking for sketch writers to make this happen (casting will happen later, so keep an eye if interested). Please get in touch with Jack at [email protected] to find out how to get involved
