Situation Comedy – I want to produce a performance around a life situation – child birth and the role of the dad. Whilst it is a serious event, I want to bring out humour through a man’s reaction to his wife giving birth, a bit like a spoken thought process – what is going through his mind and how he would really like to be somewhere else as this is woman’s work. The idea of a working man from the North, unsophisticated, down to earth. I have created my character, based on Lee Mack and his performance in sit-com “Not Going Out”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-xiwTB73Ag This inspired me to think about single camera realism and naturalism and made me think about what he meant by this – I want to base my performance on, a solo man creating a story of an episode in his life. Lee Mack said he gets is his ideas from events in his own home environment.
