Project Overview

A series of social-first short-form comedy sketches to serve as sponsored ads for a Currys campaign directing customers’ attention to the unexpected and surprising range of product categories that Currys offer e.g. beauty equipment, wellness products, toys, fitness gear.
Each 10-15s sketch will be shot in native social media style and take place in a Currys store featuring 3 recurring actors playing alternating roles as both staff and customers engaging with a different product category that features a spin on the Currys Sells What Now tagline.

Roles & Descriptions

We’re looking for 3 skilled performers with experience in comedy productions, acting in sketches or in a comedy troupe/improv style of performance with the flexibility to be able to play multiple characters across the Currys sells what now?! sketch series.

Gender: Mixed

Age: 21-35

Location: London based

(We’re looking for a diverse and inclusive cast in terms of ethnicity, gender, body shape etc)

Description:
We are looking for 3 different actors/comedians who have a knack for short form and social native content. The sketch series is minimally scripted so requires talent who are both comfortable with improv and physical comedy (big expressions, both facially and physically.)

The actors will get to play Currys Techspert colleagues who have been forced into the limelight of social media and asked to perform, front and centre. This means the ideal candidates will have a strong sense of being able to play into what often will feel like a bit of a mockumentary… with surprising products as the steer to push originality and a new style with every video.

Must be comfortable with playing multiple roles, wearing costumes, comedy, improvisation, and character impressions. The ideal candidate has a natural fondness for comedic roles and experience in sketch comedy, stand-up, or improv rather than dramatic acting.
