Season 1, Episode 10: Town Planners vs. The Goths

Next Level Sketch

The season finale! It might seem arbitrary, but it was time to put season one of the Next Level Sketch podcast out of its misery, as if it were a Radio 1 DJ still playing Dire Straits in 1993. The first episode of Season 2 will be along next month, so think of this as a gloriously renewal, not a bitter and terrible end. Episode 10 contains many lovely sketches and some frankly odd jingles and songs, but that’s not what this episode description is about. No indeed. Instead, it’s to thank all you loyal listeners out there for sticking with us throughout this mysterious year, during which we had to stop doing live shows and instead learn how to put together a professional quality sketch comedy podcast in double quick time while also occasionally remembering to do our day jobs. We’re so honoured and slightly teary-eyed by all the work put in by the burgeoning Next Level Sketch collective, from the crucial Zoom meeting sketch read through and feedback to the writing, performance and production effort going in to the finished episodes. For the latter, we offer all our thanks to podcast producer Paul, who has given up a lot of his weekends to put the past ten episodes together. As a reward, he will also be made to direct our first live show since February, scheduled for 27th October at The Miller in London Bridge. Come along!?
