So On and So Forth

BBC Radio 4 - So On and So Forth, Episode 1

One of the rising stars of the sketch group circuit with a very British style of comedy.

4 Extra Debut. So On and So Forth is a sketch group with a very clear, slightly nihilistic perspective on the world. From June 2015.

Sketch group So On and So Forth features John Sheerman, Nick Gadd and Martin Allanson, with talented comedy actress Alison Thea-Skot recruited in 2014 to bring some class to the proceedings.

So On and So Forth is a sketch group with a very clear, slightly nihilistic perspective on the world. Everything is funny if you look at it the wrong way.

They formed as a group in 2010 and have been defining their particularly British style of sketch comedy ever since. They've tested out sketches on the comedy circuit, in pubs and theatres, including a full month at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2011 and several trips to Latitude and the Leicester Comedy Festival.

They have also recorded over 30 sketches, which have been posted on their YouTube channel and collectively accrued almost 300,000 views to date.

In 2011 they won the Cofilmic award for Best Online Sketch, and one of their YouTube sketches found its way to the USA where it featured on Comedy Central’s hit US show Tosh.0 as video of the week.

With one thing leading to another, the group was invited to perform in the second series of Sketchorama on Radio 4. It wasn’t long until Radio 4 Comedy saw their potential and commissioned a four part series for the group.
 

Produced by Gus Beattie.
