If you’re familiar with a certain well-known Australian comedy troupe, you’ll understand why we ummed and ahhed about posting our Make a Wish sketch online (even though we actually filmed this in 2007). But this is one of our favourites, so here it is…
Official and proper news from Sexy D HQ forthcoming…
With filming of new sketches about to commence, time seems right to announce the theme and title of the Sexy Detective’s next show.
Coming in 2010 to a stage near you (well, if “near you” means “somewhere in Brisbane, Australia”) is Sexy D’s seventh full length sketch comedy revue, entitled The Sexy Detective presents ‘Stray Cats and Show Rats’. With brand new performers joining old – and returning – faves, ‘Stray Cats and Show Rats’ is the Sexy Detective’s look at the animal kingdom and it will boast all the raunchy sex kittens, sheer horsepower and unpleasant monkey bites you’d expect.
There’s also vampires, off colour stand up, nerds having sex and timely references to Sliders.
Check in during the lead up to the show for more information, show dates, pics and a sure to be infrequent production blog.
We answer the call of the wild in this 2006 sketch, Animals. Remember that great picture book Animalia? Well this is nothing like that.
Those internet oglers with keener eyes may have noticed that of late we’ve been uploading older sketches “from the vault”. This is because they have aged gracefully, like fine wines (we’ve decided not to serve up those that have degenerated into vinegar). Still, surely its time we got out the camera and recorded new material? Well stop bugging us -- I’m happy to say we’re shooting new sketches in just a couple of weeks. And, as a teaser, the name and theme of our upcoming live production ties in rather aptly with the above sketch…
Allow me to elaborate in a couple days with the announcement of our new show.
We have been hibernating, but we are roused by an EFO.
As you can see, an EFO is enough to rouse anyone.
Now that we have experienced our awakening -- now that we have cast off the doldrums of a cold winter -- do not expect us to lie down and go back to sleep. The Sexy Detective is once again on the case. It’s a sexy case; and it is one that involves fresh, new, sexy material.
If you’re nodding your head, check this shit out, Internets:

One of our very first sketches, that, but a good one.
…
I’m searching for a third thing to tell you all, but I’m coming up spare. More sketches and more info coming soon!
As promised, we’ve a new (read: old) sketch for you all! This one is a short but sweet sketch from the Sexy D vault. It first debuted in our September 2007 live show.
Very pointed commentary there, I feel. Pop back in a couple of weeks and we may have a brand new never-before-seen sketch!
