The Bright and Shiny Radio Show
Written in collaboration with Mark Niel and Brian Two.
Originally produced and performed by the writers at the Buxton Fringe Festival 2010 (where it received a fantastic review: "…material that's primetime Radio 4… and pokes fun without threatening to remove your comfort blanket".) this is a collection of silly sketches to be performed in radio style (either as an audio recording or on stage with the cast standing around a microphone).

The script comes with a set of daft audio jingles / links that can be played between sketches. You can listen to an example here.

With a minimum cast of 4 performers (no maximum limit). There are 2 versions of the scripts – one with stronger language and some extra more adult subject sketches (28 in all) and one with milder language and fewer sketches (23). A number of the sketches are available separately.
