Sam and Craig Are Champions is a wacky, endearing comedy about a shy London teen and his sister who are relocated to America to live with their mellow dad and loony, but well-meaning stepmom. In high school, Sam- who wants nothing more than to live the life of a wallflower- meets Craig, a brash, quirky kindred spirit on a quest to become a high school legend. The show is (hopefully) in the same style as 30 Rock, Spaced, Scott Pilgrim and the Judd Apatow comedies. Pleas reply soon; we hope to have the pilot ready in time for the Edinburgh Comedy Festival (August 15th) Sam and Craig are already cast.

Audition Line 1: This one time, I went into the living room where they were both watching TV or something and I told them dinner was ready. They both looked up at me and said “we’ll be right there,” like at the same time…it scared the shit out of me; I felt like was in The Shining

Auditon Line 1: Well would you look at that, we’re all out of seats! Oh well, you know what they say; the early bird gets to sit next to the cut, popular girl of undetermined but exotic ethnicity.
Audition Line 2: Sit down Sam, tell about England. I just love those little outfits you wear, with those knee-length socks? I’d wear a pair myself, but then no one could see my sexy, sexy knees. Oh well, win some lose some
