Stephen K Amos on Location
We're midway through our location filming and I have never been so excited to wake up at six o'clock each morning. However, I'm so used to late evening comedy shows, my body clock has taken a battering! Some days I have to check in the mirror to see if I am still me.The sketches are really good fun to see come to life and I am like a kid in a sweet shop playing dress-up. I have even been a lady! The supporting cast are a fine group of actor/comics and its been difficult keeping a straight face in between takes. I really have laughed and laughed - I hope the wind doesn't change suddenly. If my face got stuck like the joker, it would not help me pull.
Our production team has swelled to thirty people, all working flat-out to get the funnies in the can! 'In the can' - that's a technical term for when footage is filmed on a shoot. 'Shoot' - that's a technical term for filming. Get me! I'm turning into Stephen Spielberg! I've even got my own trailer.
They've got me on a boat, on an aeroplane (a disused Concorde no less), in a jail cell, and driving an ambulance - with the siren on! It's like all of my childhood dreams are coming true at once - except for the jail cell part.
We have an array of very convincing comic creations and I'm very tempted to take some of the hair pieces and costumes home - by mistake, of course ;-)
I can't wait for next week when we (well, they) will start building the studio set. I've asked for a golden throne to sit on, rose petals to walk on, and two or three scantily clad models to applaud whenever I say something funny! Isn't that how the Queen gets by? I also have someone to slap me down in case I make outrageous demands... ooh, maybe a couple of flamingos too.The Stephen K Amos Show is currently in production. Here's a sneak preview behind the scenes:
