Season 2, Episode 3: Dickensian Careers and Festive Cheers

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum from the next level Sketch collective in this most piratical of seasons… if you believe that Jesus was a pirate, which I personally do. All the evidence is there: the enormous parrot He wore on his shoulder at all times, the ludicrous obsession with buried treasure, the scurvy outbreak in Nazareth... We have a lovely Christmas episode for you all to enjoy. Please sit back, grab yourself a class of rum or a chocolate sprout, and listen intently. We’re back with live shows at The Miller in London Bridge next year. Our first show is 26th January, and then the last Tuesday of the month thereafter. All details will be on nextlevelsketch.com and on our Twitter @nextlevelsketch. Episode 13 of the Next Level Sketch podcast features sketches written by James Walsh, Paul Creasy, Jess Carravick, Muireann Kelly, Roderick Millar, Dan Smith, Angela Yaz, Flex Toomey, and Ben Fortescue. It also features the voice acting talents of Nadine Bailey, Rachel Cader, Vic Dry, Euan Brown, Dr Ruth Martin, Jenna Cole, Shane Malone, Jimmy Jameson, and Greg Davies. The jingles were by James Walsh, and the theme tune was written by James Walsh and performed by James Walsh and Rebecca Diez. Some sound effects courtesy of zapsplat.com

Om Podcasten

Brand spanking new sketches from Next Level Sketch, a London comedy collective who put on sketch comedy nights at Hoopla Impro when the government allows us. When they don’t, we record podcast episodes instead. These sketches are best taken aurally. Sketch is for everyone, and we invite writers and performers from all backgrounds to be part of Next Level Sketch. Check out our diversity page at www.nextlevelsketch.com on how you can join us, take a free sketch crash course with Gemma Arrowsmith, and get involved with Fringe of Colour.
