Quirks and Foibles | The Random Sketch Generator
Deadline: 23:00 on Monday 18th May 2026
The Random Sketch Generator is a comedy podcast: each episode has a theme, every theme is randomly selected - giving them a month to write some wonderfully random, comedy sketches.
They are now doing monthly open submissions for sketches. Deadline for the May submission window is Monday 18th May 23:00 GMT
Rules:
- They are looking funny, comedy sketches
- Keep to the theme - but be imaginative. As long as you can justify how your sketch fits the theme, go for it!
- Please keep the content PG - no swearing or inappropriate subject matters. (If you want a sense of tone they would recommend listening to previous episodes)
- There's no set rule for length - but try keep it under 5 minutes. They want sketches, not short plays!
- No prior writing experience necessary.
- Sketches may be subject to light editing (with writer's permission)
Unfortunately this opportunity is currently unpaid.
Theme

ART
