The New York Times publishes comedy sketch

December 5, 2019 by editor tva

The New York Times has just released a satirically biting sketch from Australia-based sketch team, Nice Shorts.

 

The sketch is one episode in the on-line series created by comedy writers Nick Boshier and Jazz Twemlow in partnership with Bunya Entertainment.

 

Produced by Nick Boshier, Jordana Johnson, Sophia Zachariou (Bunya Entertainment)  and Gillian Moody, Nice Shorts explores big topics through high quality sketches. The series not only explores these topics in a frenetic way, but executes them really, really well. Like… they’ve spent money on wigs and everything.

 

Ten episodes have been launched on-line to date on multiple social media platforms, with the content tapping into national and international conversations to create videos for weekly release via social platforms.

 

The New York Time has published the episode “A Cancelling! A Cancelling!”, a sketch which portrays the contemporary phenomenon of cancel culture as a muddy, miserable, medieval execution that escalates to absurdity.

 

Early on in the series’ development, Jazz and Nick got chatting to The Times as the publication had run stories on this issue before and so it seemed like a natural fit.

 

With a farcical Monty Python-esque peasant vibe, the sketch stars Jazz Twemlow, Nick Boshier, Penny Greenhalgh, and Bjorn Stewart, shot by award-winning cinematographer Anthony Jennings, and directed by Ryan Chamley.

 

Nice Shorts is a Bunya Entertainment production. Principal production investment from Screen Australia, in association with Screen Queensland.

 

A team of some of Australia’s best comedy writers and performers – both established and emerging –  has been assembled around the project including Nick Boshier (Bondi Hipsters, #7DaysLater, Soul Mates), Jazz Twemlow (Tonightly, The Roast), Nazeem Hussain (Legally Brown), Greta Lee Jackson (Wham Bam Thank You Ma’am), Penny Greenhalgh (The Lost Tapes) and Bjorn Stewart (Get Krackin’, Black Comedy).
