Ed Kavalee is busy working on a new comedy series he has written with a ‘mini-pilot’ he has self-funded.

Featuring Tony Martin, Glenn Robbins and Josh Lawson it is described as a narrative comedy about two guys trying to keep a dream alive.

The Age reports the show features two former teenage stars, both now 30, doing it tough with shopping centre gigs and low-paid corporate jobs, milking the tiny amount of fame they have left. Meanwhile, a former co-star has made it big in Hollywood.

”I got the idea after speaking to a friend’s boyfriend. I said, ‘What do you do?’ and he goes, ‘I did a kids’ show 10 years ago.’ And I went, ‘Um, OK, but what do you do now?’ and he says, ‘Oh, you know …”’

Kavalee intends to cast himself in a main role unless the networks decide he isn’t handsome enough “and then I’ll get Daniel MacPherson to play my part”.

TV Tonight understands the ‘rather gentle comedy’ also stars Toby Truslove.

Kavalee may yet front a second season of TV Burp this year on Seven.

  5. Does anybody else think this sounds familiar to that show that Peter Moon did on the Comedy Channel last year. Instead of one out of work former star now there are two….

  8. Sounds good, but I have to disagree and say I think it will be better without a laugh track. Laugh tracks in my opinion make it seem more American. I hope ABC or Ten pick it up.

  9. If they don’t pick up this show, it will have us all asking “How Come?” Let’s just hope the thugs in the scallop industry don’t put a stop to this show. We need the prize king back on the telly.

  16. You’re rigt Garion.

    If they put a laugh track on it, i’m sure it’ll be good.

    Shows like :30 seconds or Stupid, Stupid Man were not so successful as they just tell jokes after jokes and you just need to laugh when you think it’s funny.

    But a laugh track to shows such as Mother and Son and Kingswood country actually worked and i’m sure that if we did another sitcom with a laugh track it will work

  19. It does sound good and I like the quip about Daniel McPherson playing his part.

    Hope we see a 2nd season of TV Burp the only decent show 7 has created in eons.
