Brand new sketch show for C4 Trojan Donkey - hidden in plain sight

Trojan Donkey is a new hidden camera comedy that takes all that’s good in ‘old style’ covert filming to show us how funny life can be when we think no one is watching.  With a cast of strange but lovable characters, Trojan Donkey seeks out situations to confuse and engage the public as they go about their everyday lives. 

It’s a sketch show that the ‘straight man’ doesn’t realise that he/she is participating in and is commissioned by Comedy Assistant Editor, Laura Riseam for Channel 4. Trojan Donkey stars PJ Gallagher, Jim Nugent and Sharon Mannion and is 5 x 30mins, produced by Double Z Enterprises and Waddell Media. The series will transmit over the summer.

Assistant Editor, Channel 4 Comedy, Laura Riseam said:  “Trojan Donkey is a fresh take on the hidden camera show with irreverence at its core.  We’re proud to be developing a new wave of talent and Trojan Donkey gives the genre a real kick up the backside.”

Ronan McCabe said: “It’s hilarious to watch as members of the public are drawn into the strange world that the characters PJ, Jim and Sharon create and how they find it almost impossible to walk away, even when things get utterly ludicrous!”

Trojan Donkey is produced by Ruth McNally and Executive Producer is Ronan McCabe.
