| We have rejigged the site to add more content and give us the ability to expand it a bit more in the future. Our plan is to upload more short clips on a regular basis so you always have something new to see. To kick start this off we have added two new Pet Hates clips made up from unused footage. Check it out on the all new clips page. | ||||

So we’re back tired and exhausted after Edinburgh. Thanks very much to everyone who came along to see the show. Thanks also to new converts who might be checking the website after seeing us in Scotland – please keep checking back. Big thanks also to PBH and the Free Fringe.
Anyway, we had a great time up in Edinburgh and got a four star review from Three Weeks (see below). Things also seem to be going well on the Jackwert front – Current T.V have been really enthusiastic and it looks as though we’re going to be the first people from the UK to get a half-hour special on the channel. We can also confirm that we’re going to be doing Hull Comedy Festival in a double-bill with the delightful Scarlet Lights on October 29th. So hopefully see some of you there. Here is the Edinburgh review in full: Ladma vs. The WorldGet rid of that archaic 'it's free so don't expect much' attitude; this is gold, and it's lying about in a stuffy little room above a pub on the Grassmarket. This show features films (not your standard grainy shot-from-a-mobile YouTube variety, but skilfully produced television-worthy ones) and sketches with a bit of banter. I'm not one for hysterics, but the film about pet hates had me in fits, and my only criticism is that people were laughing so hard they blotted out some of the jokes. A Southerner's take on 'the North' produced some priceless mockumentary genius, while the live element of the show, featuring a scarily believable life coach sketch amongst others, is well executed. Highly recommended free comedy. **** |

| Jackwert Finished! | ||||
| Monday 14th July 2008 | ||||
|
We have (at last) completed our commission for Current TV! Jackwert is in the can and edited. We’re currently in discussions with Current regarding the films but, as soon as that’s sorted and we’ve got clearance, they should be up on the website. But this might not be until after Edinburgh.
Until then, why not check out our YouTube channel? We’ve re-launched the channel to showcase shorter clips and unseen footage. The video below is something we cobbled together from unused footage from Deep Catalyst. Keep an eye on YouTube for a sneak preview of Jackwert. Also, sadly, our London preview of the Edinburgh show has been cancelled. |

| Live Gigs | ||||

Preparations are well under way for our run at the Edinburgh Festival. We have previews coming up in Manchester, London and Brighton so please check out the gigs page to see if you can come along. We’re hoping to confirm our return to Hull Comedy Festival soon too. Brighton Fringe went well and it was nice to finally get some feedback on the show. See the blog for our thoughts on how the show went.
In other news, we’re hoping to continue work on Jackwert around the live stuff. At the very latest, that should be up by the end of July. |

Pet Hates is currently being shown on Current TV (Sky channel 193 or Virgin 155). Well actually if you want to see it you can just watch below. Although you don't get a really trendy presenter telling you what it is if you do. For some reason they have decided to call it "The Funny Haters". Probably because we are such good actors that people have to be told it's not real.
We have also rejigged the audio page. Now it's easier to navigate to what you want to listen to. There are one or two more clips to play as well. If all that doesn't satisfy your Ladma urges then come and see us live. Tickets are now out for our Brighton Fringe show Ladma vs. The World. Come to that. |

| Lots of new things | ||||
| Saturday 1st March 2008 | ||||
| We have been very busy filming, organising our live show and performing a number of smaller but important admin tasks. Because of this hard work we have loads of gigs coming up in Brighton, Manchester and of course Edinburgh so keep checking out our gigs page for one near you. Alternatively you can join the all new Ladma Facebook group to be kept up to date. Our aim is to get over 4 members by the end of the year.
We have also completed filming our mini-series for Current TV. Below is a scene from one episode that won’t appear in the final cut. You are very lucky. |

| We’ve almost completed writing our series for Current TV. Filming will commence in a matter of weeks. It is based on a short we made when half drunk on love for each other. To whet your whistle here is that short. | ||||
