Also our second sketch to feature Sean’s arse in a starring role (see: Personal Questions – age verification required apparently, ’cause of all the arse). Hey, if it ain’t broke…

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

It’s a tremendous festival organised by a gaggle of most excellent people and featuring the talents of some of Australia’s funniest (and nicest) comedians. So good work to all involved!

We have now burrowed in for a mini-hibernation in order to write new material and plot new plans. This hibernation shall probably be brief, though, so you can expect to hear from us in the not too distant future. In the meantime, enjoy another sketch from Stray Cats and Show Rats!

Team Sexy D arrived in Western Australia earlier this week and tonight marks the start of our first Brisbane-less season!

It had been a big week so far filled with plenty of preparations and lots of running around. Last night marked the Wild West Comedy Festival’s opening night gala, at which we had the pleasure of performing A Simple Case of Misunderstanding (AKA the Sex Kitten sketch) to a 1,000 strong crowd of Perthians (Perthites? Perth-siders?). Turns out they dig jokes about bestiality too. Ah, bestilaity – the universal meeting point of comedy.

We got the chance to meet some of the other comics that are making up the wonderfully diverse 2011 lineup. Amongst them was the super charming Tim Ferguson who, upon taking to the stage for his 10 minute spot, encouraged the crowd to see our show because he “met the guy with the moustache on the poster backstage and he is just as awesome in real life.” Tim Ferguson clearly rocks.

But this is all just preamble – the main show starts tonight at 7pm at Lazy Susan’s Comedy Den. Perthians, Perthites and Perth-siders alike, come along, tell your friends and bring your laughing boxes. We would love to meet you!

Four shows only!
7pm May 19, 20, 21 & 22
Tickets $21.50 / $16.50: bookings essential at Bocs online or on (08) 9484 1133
Lazy Susan’s Comedy Den
Upstairs at The Brisbane Hotel, corner of Brisbane & Beaufort Streets, Highgate

Ooh – and if you mention the phrase “Sexy D” at the door, you can scoop up a $12 ticket!

Before we pack our bags, we thought we’d furnish you with another cut from last year’s show. Watch as a once loving marriage begins a downwards spiral…

It’s General Hospital meets the X-Files – now with a little MASH mixed in for good luck.

War has reached the denizens of St Love Hospital in Prognosis: Death! Delirium. Expect all the usual wall-to-wall gore, blood, guts and romantic tension in this long form improvised comedy.

Even better, expect to see not one, two or even three Sexy Detective members on stage – there’s four of the buggers. Come on the right night, and the other two might even be in the audience.

All that, plus it’s bloody entertaining. Pun unintended, but permitted.

8pm Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays
May 5 to 14
Brisbane Arts Theatre
210 Petrie Terrace
Tickets $15 adult / $10 concession
Season pass: see ALL SIX shows for just $50 adult / $35 concession
