No more idea than that, but if any of you have sketches that you thought might not get made, think again.
(I know at least one of you has a sitcom based around this kind of thing...)

Cheers Dan. I've got a couple of sketches that might suit this.

Whenever I've thought of the phrase Growling Clown, Sooty is the one user that springs to mind.

Actually I can't think of anything to submit, I always thought I was quite sophisticated.

I sent a few sketches in to this before and got a reply just a minute ago saying that they want "ruder, cruder, more bizarre shit".
The stuff I sent in was pretty weird but also quite dark, so I don't know if that's what put them off, or if they really do just want bat-shit crazy stuff.
Bit more info on it for you anyway.

Here's the word from the Growling Clown...
We're filming a Grindhouse B-Movie zombie horror film next year called "Zombie Whores of Satan" and are looking for potential "sketch" ideas that could fit into the movie - there's also gonna be a running gag about a newsroom crew with gratuitous tits and violence included.
Plus we plan to film some zombie/freak/tit/bizarre sketches as well for use in our clubnight show "House of the Golden Lotus", as well as possibly touting for a bizarre sketch show ...

That is exactly the same email I got from them. Not much to go on. Violence and tits.
I'll have to work out how to get it into a sketch but I'd like to see lots of zombies shambling towards the camera, mostly moaning, "brains" with one dressed as Gary Glitter moaning, "bairns."

I was going to write a sketch set around a ceremonial sacrifice. The High Priest calls for the items to be sacrificed; first up a goat, then a cat and finally a cock which - you guessed it - turns out to be a real human body part. But as the High Priest lifts it up to the alter it does a wee. One of the satanic worshipers - who is inexplicably Italian - cries out "Cock-a-leeky!" and someone hands him a bowl of soup....
Do you think this is the sort of thing they're after? 
(I'm not serious)

It sounds like an evil Russell Abbott, which is a good thing.

I wouldn't go shouting that about, this stuff is catnip to Henman.

I might send it to them for a laugh.
Shall I use the pen name Russ 'I'm a satanist so I killed a' Abbot?
Or Russ Morbid Black Death Abbot?

I'd go with Lee Henman, that's what I always to when I'm tossing out half-baked ideas.

Lee Henchman perhaps?

Very light on details and I got the same back as you guys but got to be worth a punt. Must admit it makes all the difference having motivation however I assume they do pay for these? (It wasn't mentioned).... it just said looking for, I mean I am looking for Eva Mendzes although I AM willing to pay!

Are you playing celebrity hide and seek?
I've found Bob Carolgees, but still looking for Roger de Courcey (who's still looking for Nookie).

Yes I am playing Celebraty Hide and Seek, I hide in Eva Mendzes bushes (outside her house before you say anything) and the police try to find me...
If Roger de Courcey kept trying to put his hand up my bottom, I would run. Trouble with Celebrity Hide and Seek is that with most celebraties you would let them stay "hid", sounds like a winner to me!
