A Very Sexy D Christmas

Posted on December 22, 2011 by Dave

Merry season’s greetings!

If all you want for Christmas is a brand new Sexy Detective sketch (Christ, get your priorities right! What about world peace? A cliche, sure, but a good’un. At least get yourself a new flatscreen or something first!), then boy have we got a gift for you.

Last weekend, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse… ‘cept Team Sexy D, who beavered away most festively on a shiny new Christmas-themed sketchy bauble. We present it now in all its glory. If you enjoy it, pass it on to your peeps!

None of the Sexy Dees have any kids, but if we did, this is so the Christmas education they’d be getting.

Happy whatever-it-is-you-value!

There’s Something About Tommy

Posted on October 17, 2011 by Dave

Team Sexy Detective are currently soaking in all manner of literary, cultural and illegal material in an effort to find inspiration for a new shows-worth of sketches. Mike has sequestered himself inside a dojo to find his centre, his animal familiar and his sense of self. Amy has sequestered herself inside a cabin in the New Zealand alps in an effort to become one with nature. Sean has sequestered himself at the bottom of a bottle of absinthe; we’ve not seen him for some time.

In other words, we haven’t got any new material. What we do have is one of our favourite sketches from our last revue, Little Tommy Perkins, online for the first time. It’s good for laughing at.

Untitled

Yay success!

Last weekend saw the Search for Australia’s Funniest Filmmakers competition get underway at WA’s Rottofest 2011, and in a pleasant turn of events, The Sexy Detective romped home with the award for Best Skit. Cheers, judges with impeccable taste!

A few of our sketches were nominated in the competition, one of which was listed as “Untitled” on the Rottofest website. Turns out it was this little ditty, Dinner Party. Apparently the following 36 seconds is worth $500, something we dare not argue with.

In Competition

Posted on September 1, 2011 by Dave

So The Sexy Detective has three skits in competition at in a nationwide film sketch comedy comp! Or maybe it’s four skits. We’re not sure. Not entirely sure which sketches got in, either.

Rottofest 2011 – a weekend of comedy, film and music held on Rottnest Island off the WA coast – is home to a competition named Search for Australia’s Funniest Filmmakers (check it out here). Sexy D submitted a few entries, and according to the Rottofest website our sketches Medieval Name, If I Could Do It All Again and, erm, “Untitled” all made the grade.

We are excited as you to find out which one is Untitled. There’s also a film in the running called Coffee, which might be ours too.

Either way,  we don’t really care – thanks for the judges for their excellent taste! Rottofest 2011 is on this weekend starting September 3, and the schedule indicates there are film sketch heats on the Saturday and finals on the Sunday. If any WA-siders are going along, be sure to laugh and cheer when our skits come on!

Sexy D Ahoy!

Posted on July 31, 2011 by Dave

Four members of the Sexy D troupe are hitting the Brisbane stage this week, but in sketchless (and scriptless) form. Catch Amy, Mike, Dave and Luke in Agatha Holmes Ahoy! this Thursday August 4.

Agatha Holmes is the drug-addled detective honour-bound to protect the British Isles from murder most foul. Following on from a warmly received 2010 outing, Impromafia’s favourite detective returns aboard a 1920s luxury cruise liner for a six show season of new crimes. Every show is completely unique, as each audience member nominates a murder weapon, a tell-tale clue and their choice of killer via secret ballot.

If you’ve ever wanted to see Luke “Big Sexy” Allan die (haven’t we all?) here’s your chance! Pop in on night one, Thursday the 4th, and bay for his blood. You can even nominate a gruesome method for his ending. But if the thought of Luke “Big Sexy” Allan carking it saddens you to your very core, skip night one and make the next five shows from August 5 to 13, Thursday to Saturday. We shall never speak of him again.

Running 8pm Thursday to Saturday, August 4 – 13
Brisbane Arts Theatre, 210 Petrie Terrace
Tickets $17 / $12
SEASON PASS! See six shows for $50 / $35!
Bookings on 3369 2344 or www.artstheatre.com.au
