Female comedy voice to fill the void

Female comedy voice to fill the void – and we think we’ve found it with Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Crashing, which starts on Channel 4 tonight (10pm). And with four-letter filth, Millennial angst and tampon jokes, it’s ticking all our boxes.Following a group of twenty- and thirty-somethings living in a disused, dead-pigeon harbouring hospital in London as ‘property guardians’ (aka people who stay in empty buildings and provide security in return for cheap rent) – it’s the first sitcom from comedian and writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who’s been dubbed ‘the British Amy Schumer’.

Amongst the asbestos and abandoned medical equipment we have: Sam (Jonathan Bailey) the sexually frustrated estate agent; Melody (Julie Dray) an impossibly sultry, and very French artist; shy boy Fred, and the not-so-happily engaged couple Anthony and Kate (Damien Molony and Louise Ford) who are saving up for their wedding. It feels a bit like a grown up Fresh Meat – if all the housemates graduated, moved to London and realised they couldn’t afford to live in the capital.

Waller-Bridge (who also stars in the show as new arrival Lulu) won rave reviews and an Olivier nomination in 2013 for her sell-out, one-woman show, Fleabag. On screen her writing is just as funny as it is on stage; she has a knack for capturing the quiet desperation and confusion of her not-quite adult characters, as they try to navigate their careers and relationships, and generally end up fucking it all up
