Smesh powers comedy gig for BBC
October 31st, 2011
Here’s a rather exciting one — on November the 9th, as part of Internet Week Europe (IWE), we’ll be running a large-scale Twitter wall that integrates into a comedy performance by The Boy with Tape on his Face, produced by BBC Comedy. Here’s a clip of The Boy in action.
We’re not sure if this is the first comedy with gig with Twitter featuring as a core part of the performance (rather than a parallel ‘bolt-0n’); it’s almost certainly the first silent comedy featuring this kind of deep Twitter integration. Regardless of the technology, The Boy represents brilliant (award winning!) live physical comedy performance, and as this is an experimental night, tickets are free.
Details and tickets for the event are available via IWE.
Once more we are ably assisted in design and frontend build by our friends at Sennep.
Addendum: the gig was fantastic fun; I was going to do a write-up, but @loooooren has done an amazing job already. We’ll post images and video clips when they’re available.
Update: some set-up photos; more of the performance to follow.
