Comedian Chris Addison is a regularly guest and he commissioned us to create some material he could use on the show. We come up with jokes for the regular features as well as jokes on current events. We’ve had jokes broadcast on every episode so far in the current series.

June 2011 – Dan Shine: Musical Maverick – Podcast
We created our own sitcom style podcast that is available for download on the internet. Each eight minute long episode documents the trials and tribulations of a bad musician trying to make it to the big time. Each episode so far has been recorded at the BBC studio in Newcastle.

February 2011 – Jesting About – BBC Newcastle, BBC Tees – Writers
Jesting About was a scheme championed by Bob Mortimer and Ross Noble which aimed to get people from the North East into a position to get material broadcast. Over 200 applicants applied for the radio branch of the scheme and we made it in to two of the ten coveted spots. After getting help from Bob and Ross we and the team created the thirty minute sketch show which was recorded in front of a live audience. It starred Mark Benton and comedian Gavin Webster and was broadcast last April to a good reception.
