Ricky Gervais Lands a New Role!

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010 by comedy_admin3
Worldwide Comedy News Updated Daily

Worldwide Comedy News Updated Daily

Larry David will soon be working with Ricky Gervais in a new season of Curb your enthusiasm.

Ricky Gervais is returning to TV after landing a role alongside his comedy idol Larry David in the next season of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

The pair will shoot the eighth season of the hit show this summer in New York City, after the comedy relocated from Los Angeles.

“I was offered a role a few seasons back but couldn’t do it as I was filming Extras. I’ve always wanted to work with Larry as I consider him one of the most important comedic minds of the past 50 years. He is also one of the nicest people I know.”

And he’s looking forward to working in the Big Apple, where he has a home.

He adds, “It’s perfect for me as I can walk to work. I won’t walk obviously. I’ll take a limo. But I could walk if I had to.”

Comedy News: Sacha Baron Cohen To Take New Lead Role

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010 by comedy_admin3

Worldwide Comedy News Updated Daily

Worldwide Comedy News Updated Daily

Although Sacha Baron Cohen was recently taken off the bill at the oscars, he’s now back on form and being offered lead roles:

Sacha Baron Cohen could be set to take the lead role in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, a new remake of the comic tale of a small-town fantasist and the elaborate daydreams he concocts. The British comedian is currently in talks with the film’s backers, 20th Century Fox, according to the movie website Pajiba.com.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a short story by the US humourist James Thurber, first published in the New Yorker magazine in 1939. This formed the basis for a 1947 Hollywood outing starring Danny Kaye, although Thurber disapproved of the ways in which the film deviated from his original tale.

A remake has been stalled at various stages of development since 1994. Numerous directors, including Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard, were tipped to oversee the update, with the lead role shuttling between the likes of Mike Myers, Owen Wilson and Jim Carrey. The script was recently rewritten by Peter Morgan, of The Queen and Frost/Nixon fame.

Having cut his teeth on British TV, Baron Cohen scored a worldwide hit with his 2006 feature Borat. He is now poised to play a supporting role in The Invention of Hugo Cabret, a magic-realist drama to be directed by Martin Scorsese.

Comedy News: Dawn French And Lenny Henry Split After 25 Years

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010 by comedy_admin3

Worldwide Comedy News Updated Daily

Worldwide Comedy News Updated Daily

One of the strongest double acts in comedy have split

British comedians Lenny Henry and Dawn French are to separate after 25 years of marriage, their spokesman said on Tuesday.

The couple made their decision to split up last October and have since been “living together in constant, open and honest discussion,” spokesman Neil Reading said in a statement.

“The separation is entirely amicable and they fully intend to maintain their close friendship,” it said. “Their priority is to commit to the future joint parenting of their daughter.”

The comics, who married in London in 1984 and adopted their daughter Billie in 1991, gave no details about their separation.

French, 52, wrote in her bestselling autobiography that their marriage was “buffeted by a tornado” when tabloid newspapers published details of their relationship in 1999.

In media interviews, both have refused to comment in detail on the accounts given in the newspapers.

French said her 51-year-old husband made “grave errors of judgement” which led to a decision to “pull tighter, hold each other, unite, hold hands and walk through the storm together.”

They met in the early 1980s when new alternative comedians began replacing established older performers on television.

Henry emerged on the talent show “New Faces” before working on the children’s programme “Tiswas” and the sketch show “Three of a Kind.” He went on to have his own comedy series on the BBC and has recently appeared on stage as Shakespeare’s Othello.

French starred in the Channel 4 comedy “The Comic Strip Presents…” before joining comedian Jennifer Saunders in the popular long-running BBC comedy “French & Saunders.”

Thursday, April 1st, 2010 by comedy_admin

BBC3’s Laughter Shock is a multi cultural comedy sketch show pilot starring 14 of the hottest new stand-up comedians of which young stand-up comedians Imran Yusuf, Nas Omangulu, Joe Lycett and Miss London are amongst the ‘hotly tipped’.

The show mixes footage of the stand-ups telling their jokes with pre-filmed sketches that have been written and performed by the acts. These skits are screened to the live audience between the stand-up sets. A regular theme of many of the sketches is “Think! Black”.

Screened on BBC3 on Wednesday 31st March 2010, the Pilot is available for 7 days. Just follow the picture link below.

imran-yusuf-bbc-laughtershock

The Guardian Says: “With the Damoclean threat of BBC funding cuts being waved above Auntie’s channels and stations, this new-talent comedy seems just the kind of show it should be investing in to justify its existence. Here lie sketches and standup from a cast of young comics, including last year’s Chortle student comic of the year, Joe Lycett, and others including Joanne Lau, Imran Yusuf and Sarah Campbell.”

Comedy News: Channel 4 Put On Charity Show For Great Ormand Street Hospital

Monday, March 29th, 2010 by comedy_admin3

Worldwide Comedy News Updated Daily

Worldwide Comedy News Updated Daily

With such a high profile line-up, this Charity gig is set to raise plenty of money for Great Ormand Street Hospital.

Charity gigs come in all shapes and sizes, from a bunch of stand-ups passing the hat round in a room above a pub to this, a Channel 4-backed night to benefit Great Ormond Street which features one of the most celeb-heavy lineups you’re likely to see anywhere this year. As Peep Show is unequivocally the network’s biggest comedy hit in recent years, it’s all the more fitting to have David Mitchell] as one of the main attractions, doing a relatively rare live turn. Among those joining him at the O2 are Channel 4 regulars like Sean Lock, Jack Whitehall and the Fonejacker, but the net’s also been spread wide enough to include the likes of Jonathan Ross and Gavin & Stacey stars Ruth Jones and James Corden. And given the charity involved, you can’t rule out a last-minute cameo from Sir Alan Sugar. If you can’t get a ticket, you’ll be able to see the whole thing on TV next month.
