Synopsis:

Listen! Like! Share!

FUTURE COMEDY UNIT is the home of 10 episodes of audio comedy with a genre, fantastical sensibility, written by Simon Messingham,  recorded and produced by Alistair Lock. 
 

From the classic TEEN PEOPLE, to the gothic heart of the New Forest in BLANDER THINGS, surreal deranged crime in THE EALING INHERITANCE, and the sheer, shameless rudeness of AUSTIN COUNTY, FuCU is all killa no filla. And at around 45 minutes an episode, we won’t take up too much of your oh-so valuable time. 


Each episode is an original full cast comedy, recorded by painstaking professionals PLUS introductions and chats with the creators and actors, who discuss the ideas, gags and making of the stories.

If you dig our groovy episodes, why not go all 'modern' and check out our website www.futurecomedyunit.com 
It's packed with loads of fascinating pictures and gripping articles about the stories. 
For the kids, we also do 'socials', whatever they are, so 'like and subscribe' to Instagram and FB. Or don't, if that's not your thing and you love missing out.

We ask nothing more than you spend some time wallowing in our world. 
If you like what you hear, please invite others. To the wallowing world.

The world of FuCU. It's pronounced Phew-Q.
