Just for Laughs, the hit hidden-camera show for Saturday nights on BBC ONE, relies on unsuspecting members of the public. Our actors help us create the extraordinary situations for Just for Laughs.
ACTOR PROFILES:
Keith Law
Comic performer Keith Law joined the just for laughs team and from the outset proved that he'll do just about anything if he thinks it'll raise a few laughs. As a result he's had more costume changes than an incontinent supermodel! "One minute I'm dressed in a smart suit posing as a businessman looking for directions, the next I'm popping on an alien outfit or arresting people whilst wearing just my pants!" It's fun work but doesn't distract him from his many other jobs as a session musician and producer and presenter. Keith says "One day I hope to invent time travel. I'm only doing Just For Laughs to help me raise enough money to buy a DeLorean sports car in the meantime." More pictures.
Kirsteen O'Sullivan
Kirsteen is a trained broadcast journalist and television presenter from Fife, Scotland. She switches easily between hard-hitting news journalism to her light-hearted playful side, seen in Just For Laughs. She admits "I really like the fact I can turn my hand to both and Just For Laughs is so much fun. It's important not to take yourself too seriously in this game!" More pictures.
FAVOURITE GAG: Undercover Cop
Sonia Butterworth
Sonia's talents extend far beyond just the acting she does in the series. As casting director on Just For Laughs it's her job to find the people of all shapes and sizes that act in the programme. "It's something of an unenviable task at times" she says. "Can you imagine calling up some big lads in British Army and asking them if they'd like top take part in a dance routine in the park or convincing a perfectly healthy senior citizen to push a Zimmer frame across the road at 5 mph causing a city centre gridlock." Thankfully Sonia's cast always see the funny side of what they're doing and so too (thankfully) their poor victims. Sonia can also be seen presenting and her role as a musician means she's currently producing her third album. More pictures.
