Spooky Kid’s Comedy Shorts
15th-17th March 2012
In what we hope will be the first of many such shows, Spooky Kid showcased the talents of six different writers with seven short comedy plays…
Two writers brainstorm some of the worst ideas to write a show about, a romantic candlelit dinner goes badly wrong, an ageing Dracula faces some incompetant vampire slayers, a left-wing student band battle to find anything that wouldn’t constitute ‘selling out’, a writer recovering from a breakdown finds himself drafted into a dress rehearsal for the end of the world, a one-man musical hits the stage and a maverick deck chair attendant tries some unconventional means of generating business.
Written by Jonathan Badgery, Jim Blythe, Graham Parry, Mark Ward, Nathan Willcock and Simon Woodgett, Comedy Shorts starred:

Hannah Brodie
Tym Dartnall
Katie Gooderham
Tom Hadden
Dan McKee

I came to see the show last night, not knowing what to expect, and was hugely impressed with the whole thing! I liked the fact that all the short plays were completely different from one another, and completely bonkers! Some of the sketches I laughed from start to finish! There really are some talented writers and actors within the group! Overall I really enjoyed the show and will definitely be returning for the next Spooky kid production, what ever it may be! Very well done to all!
