50th Anniversary: Batman, Star Trek and WMD!

So, believe it or not, but both the original series of Star Trek and the original TV Batman series are both 50 years old this year. I say "believe it or not", it's an objective fact, so either believe it or live in ignorance and denial. Also, WMD is now 50!


...okay, first off, a disclaimer; WMD has not been going for 50 years. That's barely our collected ages. But we have now put out our 50th sketch, which is a milestone in itself. We started putting out the odd sketch as early as 2014, and have been putting out one a week since the tail end of 2015. This might not sound like much, but if you've been following our output you'll realise this adds up to over 2 hours of material. That's crazy.


So, what's the plan going forward? Well, we are still going to continue putting out our weekly sketches, and continue to improve our production values and vary our shooting styles. We are also starting to do regular live gigs, with a view to playing some of the choicer comedy and short film festivals in the next 12 months, and will be putting up a "Gigs" page shortly.


We have also started using Funny Or Die, Dailymotion and Vimeo, and are uploading our HD back catalogue to those sites over the coming weeks, if you are so inclined to use any of those sites instead of Youtube.


So, I am very much looking forward to writing a similar article in around a year's time, celebrating our 100th sketch. In the mean time, please enjoy our 50th sketch, "The Methane Show":
