Radio 4 is to pilot a character-driven sketch show.

You're Part Of The Problem is described as "a brand-new sketch featuring some of the funniest performers in the UK."

Abi Clarke, Aurie Styla, Ed Jones, Lola-Rose Maxwell and Stephen Buchanan will take on various roles in the show.

The premise is explained as follows: "You're Part Of The Problem will showcase characters who are... part of the problem. They're out of step with the world around them, rubbing people up the wrong way, smashing social norms and oblivious to how deep a hole they are digging - and what could be more fun than that?"

The pilot will be recorded in front of an audience at London comedy club Up The Creek on Monday 11th December (free tickets), with the resultant episode set to be broadcast on Radio 4 at a later date.
