<div>Hi, I’m Bobby — I’m a writer from the North West, and I’ve created a comedy called Mad For It! It’s set in 1995 Manchester and follows a hopeless Britpop band called Dog Basket, who think they’re destined to be the next Oasis… even though they rehearse in a pub cellar, argue in chip shops, and have never played a full gig without setting something on fire.

<div>I’ve written the full pilot episode and I’m now raising funds to film it as a proof-of-concept. The goal is to bring it to life with local Northern talent — actors, musicians, crew — and then pitch it to UK broadcasters and streaming platforms. This isn’t a vanity project — it’s about making real, working-class, Northern stories for screen. Funny ones. Messy ones. Proper ones.

<div>Any donation helps, no matter how small. But if you can’t donate, there are still two ways to help:

</div>

<div> You can offer your services (as an actor, crew member, location, etc.)

</div>

<div> Or you can share this page with someone who might love the idea

<div>Thanks for supporting indie comedy — and here’s to Dog Basket finally making it through a set without blowing the leccy.
