Adam's New Acting Role - The Persuasionists

[lazybones]

Hi, just recieved this e-mail from sro audiences:

THE SC UM ALSO RISES

A sitcom about the flaky, shaky, fakey "creatives" who work in the advertising industry. Underworked and overpaid, they're the people who spend all day trying to persuade you to buy things you don't want with money you don't have. They're scum.
There's Billy, who's smart and funny and STILL works in advertising; uncontrollable urge-bag Keaton; neurotic, spoiled Emma; boss Clive, the most Australian man on the planet; and hopeless, witless, feckless Greg – who wants to be as ambitious and amoral as his friends, but can’t seem to manage even that.

Come and see the show that reaches the parts other comedies cannot reach…. Because you’re worth it.


Starring Adam Buxton (Adam and Joe), Iain Lee (The 11 O'Clock Show) & Daisy Haggard (Man Stroke Woman), The Scum Also Rises will be taping at Teddington Studios on Thursdays during June & July and booking is now open. If you would like to join us, then apply now!

"feckless Greg – who wants to be as ambitious and amoral as his friends, but can’t seem to manage even that." adam's character.

[benjula]

yeah the pilot was shown 2 years ago, http://board.sitcom.co.uk/thread/12573#P399609 this thread also confused me.

[Retinend]

Oh, Adam's not even writing - just acting.

The signs aren't good, chaps.

[Smash]

The series has undergone several cast changes and rewrites before it has got to this point, doesn't bode well if I'm honest.

[benjula]

yup I have rock bottom expectations.
