There will come a day when I’m not a regular contributor to YoungNotions. I may guest once in a while, possibly once a week or so, but this website is really Bill’s baby. It’s very kind of him to allow me visitation rights.
But we are still going to work together on comedy projects, including our rather popular “Young and Fearless” sketch comedy series.
And YOU can be a part of it, too.
Young and Fearless works on a collaboration basis. We accept submissions of sketches from contributors based on a theme. Bill goes through them, accepts or denies scripts based on comedy, fit, and whether or not the premise is sound.
He spends a couple weeks working with the writers to polish their sketches. We get a lot of new writers who have never written sketch before, and it’s a great opportunity to work with a writer who’s been in the sketch business for over 10 years.
After the sketches are finished, I work with a team of players to produce the sketches. A couple of my players have been in every show, and I usually get a few new people each production. I like working with my actor’s strengths, and generally cast on variety of abilities.
The next show will be “Young and Fearless: A Night at the Movies” November 15th at 10pm. We’re accepting sketch scripts for both live and film sketches (for people who want to produce their own film sketch to be shown at the theater. We have some resources available, but we do not generally produce film sketches). If you have an idea for a sketch that takes place in a movie theater, please submit your first draft by Monday, September 23rd to youngfearless@fearlesscomedyproductions.com.
It all starts with you, writers, so get those sketch ideas in! youngfearless@fearlesscomedyproductions.com
