Totally Tom

TX: September/October, E4

The comedy strand that launched the careers of Peter Kay, Russell Brand and Jimmy Carr, as well as uncovering such gems as Modern Toss and Fonejacker, is back for new run this autumn, with six brand new half-hour commissions.

Anna and Katy stars acclaimed double act Anna Crilly (British Comedy Award Nominee) and Katy Wix (Writer's Guild Award Nominee) as they bring their brand of character comedy to a self-titled one-off sketch show.

Totally Tom is a scripted comedy sketch show written and performed by Tom Palmer and Tom Stourton.

Kabadasses is written by newcomer Nikesh Shukla, and produced/ directed by Anil Gupta (Goodness Gracious Me, The Office).

Mr & Mrs Hotty Hot Show is a comedy game show featuring the award winning comedy sketch group Pappys (Matthew Crosby, Tom Parry and Ben Clark).

The Warm Up Guy stars Tom Davis (Cha'mone Mo'Fo'Selecta!, The Morgana Show) as Ian Bodkin, a struggling studio warm up comedian who thinks he is a superstar in the making.

Rick and Peter stars Rick Edwards (T4, That Paralympics Show) and Peter Mitchell (Cast Offs, Hollyoaks) as caricatures of themselves; an odd couple thrown together after Rick makes a regrettable gag on T4, and is put on a crash course in how to become more politically correct.
