Just found this on Chortle forums:
Growling Clown Entertainment plan to film some bizarre comedy sketches next year - featuring zombies, freaks, strippers etc
If anyone wants to contribute any potential scripts please email info@growlingclown.com

No more idea than that, but if any of you have sketches that you thought might not get made, think again.
(I know at least one of you has a sitcom based around this kind of thing...)

Cheers Dan. I've got a couple of sketches that might suit this.

Actually I can't think of anything to submit, I always thought I was quite sophisticated.

I sent a few sketches in to this before and got a reply just a minute ago saying that they want "ruder, cruder, more bizarre shit".
The stuff I sent in was pretty weird but also quite dark, so I don't know if that's what put them off, or if they really do just want bat-shit crazy stuff.
Bit more info on it for you anyway.

Here's the word from the Growling Clown...
We're filming a Grindhouse B-Movie zombie horror film next year called "Zombie Whores of Satan" and are looking for potential "sketch" ideas that could fit into the movie - there's also gonna be a running gag about a newsroom crew with gratuitous tits and violence included.
Plus we plan to film some zombie/freak/tit/bizarre sketches as well for use in our clubnight show "House of the Golden Lotus", as well as possibly touting for a bizarre sketch show ...

That is exactly the same email I got from them. Not much to go on. Violence and tits.
I'll have to work out how to get it into a sketch but I'd like to see lots of zombies shambling towards the camera, mostly moaning, "brains" with one dressed as Gary Glitter moaning, "bairns."
I'm an enabler...a facilitator...a possibilitiser...

I was going to write a sketch set around a ceremonial sacrifice. The High Priest calls for the items to be sacrificed; first up a goat, then a cat and finally a cock which - you guessed it - turns out to be a real human body part. But as the High Priest lifts it up to the alter it does a wee. One of the satanic worshipers - who is inexplicably Italian - cries out "Cock-a-leeky!" and someone hands him a bowl of soup....
Do you think this is the sort of thing they're after?
(I'm not serious)

It sounds like an evil Russell Abbott, which is a good thing.

I wouldn't go shouting that about, this stuff is catnip to Henman.

I might send it to them for a laugh.
Shall I use the pen name Russ 'I'm a satanist so I killed a' Abbot?
Or Russ Morbid Black Death Abbot?

I'd go with Lee Henman, that's what I always to when I'm tossing out half-baked ideas.
