The JAPE Collective

An exploration of life in Little Snogging By The Bus Stop, a fictional Lancashire village where its best to use your initiative in a tight cupboard, and Polly will tell you where to keep your nuts.

An exploration of life in Little Snogging By The Bus Stop, a fictional Lancashire village where the weather is unreliable, and none of us can remember whatsisname.

An exploration of life in Little Snogging By The Bus Stop, a fictional Lancashire village where even if you say it with flowers, there’s no Sweet P in Police work.

An exploration of life in Little Snogging By The Bus Stop, a fictional Lancashire village where we find an unusual bird in the Women’s Institute, and voices over the ether exceed our expectations.

An exploration of life in Little Snogging By The Bus Stop, a fictional Lancashire village where we call in to pick up a dead body in the library, and find out about nurdling with your mouth full.

An edited version of one of our original live performances, including seven sketches presented ‘radio-style’ (scripts, microphones and plenty of imagination).

We introduce you to Ede and Flo in literary mood, a body in the library, the ladies from the Women’s Institute censoring a nursery rhyme, and several other eccentric residents of “that jewel in the crown of Lancashire, Little Snogging By The Bus Stop.”

All material written by Peter Franksson and Alan Veale, with music by Jim and Dave Thomas.

An elderly woman wants to get rid of her husband. Why won’t the man at the Citizen’s Advice Bureau help her out? And why on earth won’t Bernie eat his bacon butty?

John and Alice are driven to desperate measures when both their spouses threaten to spoil their plans. The bodies mount up, but who will walk off with that bag of stolen loot?

Alice’s dodgy boyfriend muscles in on the conspiring lovers’ dilemma. Disposing of a body is more Colin’s kind of expertise – but can he be trusted not to spill the beans?

An emergency extraction proves to be an insurmountable challenge for John and Alice, especially when the patient dies during the procedure, leaving a false name and a bag full of cash.
