From Little Britain to Funky House Sessions

It's a little outdated, but I'm just gonna post it anyways. This is a scene from the Little Britain Live show. I just thought it was outrageous what they did onstage.

Little Britain is a sketch comedy written and performed by David Walliams and Matt Lucas.

In this scene, David Walliams performs the 'Des Kay' sketch. Just a bit of background info: Des Kay is a children's programme presenter. He's known as Wicky Woo and is a bit loopy loo. His career took a tumble when his show got taken over by his co-presenters(whose queer). So he's on a sore and jealous streak. Might be quite a queer himself.



Can you believe there are actually children in the audience as well? It must've been so much fun to be live at the show. And to be embarrassed on stage like that before hundreds of people? Gosh, it's the best.

Which happened to set me thinking, where are the local equivalents of David Walliams and Matt Lucas?

Consequently, it led me to the MrBrownShow.

The deputy director back at NYP's School of Interactive and Digital Media used to encourage us to tune in to Mr Brown's podcasts because of it's 'highly creative content'. I could agree with that, no problem.

I like funny and comedic stuff. But the satire part I'm not too sure lah. I'm not too big on current affairs and politics.

Anyways, I realised that I could subscribe to Mr Brown's podcasts on iTunes, which will subsequently update and download future podcast episodes. While doing so, I find myself tapping on a wealth of audio programmes on iTunes itself. The power of Internet (yeah, I'm pro-technology too).

Getting more in tune with house music, I discovered that there are hundreds of streams of radio stations streaming house music. And then I also discovered that there are DJs who UPLOAD podcasts of house music.

So I was furiously subscribing to all the different podcasts; it was all so bloody exciting. I've downloaded like 3 hours worth of house sessions. Haha!...
