Channel 4 has released six new comedy shorts, ‘Blaps’ just in time for Christmas, the largest amount ever released in one go. Available for free on All 4 and on YouTube, feature up and coming talents Sam Campbell, Fran Bushe, Tash Marshall and Jonny Pelham alongside Marek Larwood (Sorry I’ve Got No Head, Fast and Loose, Rush Hour), Javone Prince (Phone Shop, The Javone Prince Show), Jamie Demetriou (Stath Lets Flats), Charlotte Ritchie (Dead Pixels, Ghosts) and Ian Beattie (Vikings, Game of Thrones).
THE DIARY OF MY BROKEN VAGINA written by Fran Busheis based on her real diary entries. This bold alternative comedy follows Fran, who is pretty certain her vagina is broken. She’s been struggling with what should be the most natural thing in the world! Sex. It’s easy, right? Surely everything should just click right into place? But for Fran it never has. Instead Doctors treat her like she’s wasting their time and her best friend is running out of helpful suggestions. The truth is, Fran’s being trying to fix this since she was 17. Now at 30 years old and after years of faking it, Fran has finally decided to fix her vagina and she can see only one option: Sex Camp! It’s a place where she will dedicate herself to becoming a multi-orgasmic-sexual-goddess. Or, at least, try to learn to enjoy sex, a bit. But is Fran really ready for what Sex Camp has in store for her? The Diary of my Broken Vagina brings a fresh and honest perspective to female sexual struggles, dealing with a very real problem head on in a laugh out loud way. This bold and brave female led comedy will probably teach us all something about sex!
Channel 4’s Blaps have a strong track record of being the birthplace of many series commissions; recently Stath Lets Flats, High & Dry and Lee and Dean were broadcast on the channel after beginning life as Blaps. New commissions for 2019 Home (Channel 4) and Dead Pixels (E4) have also come from comedy Blaps. Lady Parts, one of the most talked about Blaps to date, has been commissioned for a full series on Channel 4 following its Blap.
