No Worries If Not: A Funny(ish) Story of Growing Up Working Class and Queer

Product Information

Don’t worry about a thing. You couldn’t have known that would have been the result of your experiment! Artfully accomplished… amiably, unsparingly self-aware… bright, well-wrought autobiographical hour' – Brian Logan, The Guardian Dan’s brother is a millionaire (we never see him) and his best friend is a GP who is fantastically good at poker — and by far the most interesting character. Carla, on the other hand, works for some crazed psychologists in the woo-woo world of personal development. The crazed psychologists are pretty rich too. Then Dan loses his job in advertising. That’s about it.

I failed my first driving test in 30 seconds because I ran a stop sign on the way out of the test centre. It’s okay” works well if we don’t mind sounding slightly blunter. Many professional people use phrases like this to let people know that they do not need to worry, but more conversation might be needed before they’re completely off the hook. I loved it. We did a writers’ room together for a couple days to brainstorm and then split up to work on our sketches separately. Lots of great moments in the show come from ad libs on set and decisions we made while filming. We all trust each other’s instincts and we’re honest about what we think does and doesn’t work. Sharp, poised, and deadpan hilarious ... Magliano is a talent and a half.' – Chiara Wilkinson, Time Out We were all just so encouraging of the ideas everyone had and working on this show as you're dressed in a glittery sequined suit, singing a filthy song about farming, you really do just wonder "how is this really a job?" There was also just so many ideas we didn't even get to create in this series so here's hoping we might even get a second series to bring even more madness!My method is taking a normal scenario and dropping in a bizarre or supernatural element into it. So, it could be phone-in radio show only the guest is a monster or a matter of fact conversation between two Irish mams but it’s during the apocalypse. There’s something extremely funny to me about nonchalance in the face of weirdness. From zombies to tight wagons this show has it all so make sure to tune in and "No Worries if Not" - although actually, there WILL be some worries if not... So tune in yeah?! News about our Dezeen Awards programme, including entry deadlines and announcements. Plus occasional updates. Dezeen Events Guide I really cannot narrow it down to just one though because Sharon Horgan is another comedy hero of mine. From Sharon's series Pulling onwards, I have been a huge fan of her work both on screen and behind the scenes as a writer and producer.

My brother Nils's trousers randomly fell down once in public when we were kids, still makes me laugh today Sharon Horgan. I will watch anything she’s acting or voice acting in and anything she writes. She’s who I’d aspire to be like as a writer-performer. The goal in life is not to be liked by everyone. If every single person always accepts every single thing that you do, you’re doing something wrong. Instead of focusing on pleasing others, focus on being true to your authentic self and living a life that you will be proud of.” For example: an excellent chef might say ​ “I could possibly make an alright spag bol?”, inflecting their voice upwards towards the end of the sentence with uncertainty, instead of ​ “I have spent alot of time perfecting the art of Italian cooking and spaghetti bolognese is my speciality”. This, it should go without saying, is abig no-no.I am also watching Bad Sisters, Sharon Horgan's new dark comedy drama and loving it. It also has a character in it I don't think any other show has made me detest so strongly in my life which is very impressive! Harry Enfield. His sketch show, as well as The Fast Show, were my first introductions to sketch comedy and they made a big impression on me. He's so multi-talented and just effortlessly, naturally funny. The same can also be said for Paul Whitehouse. It’s okay. I’ll be down in a moment to discuss the matter further, but I think we’re going to come out of this alright.

The Baby, The Righteous Gemstones, Documentary Now, Last Man on Earth, Atlanta, Party Down and No Worries If Not, of course! To go into an experience where aspects aren't fully in your hands because there's a whole team involved, that was definitely a learning experience for all of us to go into. It was a great learning opportunity but it was surreal to not have to set up the camera and hit record and get into screen. To have a whole crew involved was so surreal."

I also love the short film Six Shooter (it is quite dark though just a heads up!) and I love Booksmart. In terms of shows; Mandy (Diane Morgan), Pulling (Sharon Horgan), This Way Up (Aisling Bea) and Fleabag (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) are all fantastic. Soupy Norman is hands down the show I quote most (every day) and Stath Lets Flats is one I have recently binged in full and loved as well as the parody reality show Burning Love and Party Down.

As a guesser actively trying to learn to be an asker, or somewhere in-between, I’ve been surprised by how many social interactions I’ve observed that seem to hinge on the Ask/Guess framework, whether they concern a favor or not. To return to the texts, my sister was irritated with her friend, but she didn’t want him to know just in case he had a valid case against her irritation, which might irritate him , which could make her feel bad or cause conflict. The prize for her guesswork was keeping the peace. The cost was mutual understanding. The process was debating over an exclamation point, repressing everything else. I recognized what she was doing because I’ve done it myself. (I wrote about this a little bit in #95: Are you a baby? A litmus test. ) Seeing his first live special made me realise comedy does not just have to be in a singular form, telling jokes on a stage. His last special Inside proved also not even an audience was necessary and for myself who creates so much online comedy it was very inspiring to see (albeit equally makes me want to quit and question what is even the point when he is THAT good. Haha!).It’s no issue” is a good way to show someone that whatever happened is not a problem. Some people can panic when they’re giving you bad news, and using a phrase like this is a good way to calm their nerves before they get overwhelmed. Like all of the creators, Justine had spent much of her career writing, filming, directing, editing and posting her videos alone, so while moving into the world of TV was an exciting time, it was also unnerving to have the final cut out of her control.
