Mr Benn meets Endgame (Beckett, not Avengers). An offbeat take on the legendary shops featured in decades of TV comedies. 

Has the apocalypse happened? Very possibly, but inside Eggs Collective's shop routine reigns and it’s pretty much business as usual. Except for the fact that there aren’t any customers and the staff never leave.

Broadcast in 2019 and made in Manchester (written in the beloved Star & Garter and filmed in an empty shop on Tib Street), Smile Love It Might Never Happen was made by a crew that was 66% female.

Incredible slapstick sitcom starring two brothers.

Starring Danny Adams, Mick Potts, Clive Webb, Rob Carter,  Shalini Peiris, and Nina Wadia.

Guest Starring - Nadine Doyle, Dane Baptiste, Vicky Hall, Dave Benson-Philips, Luke Cutforth, and Jason Gardiner.

REVIEW- What a breath of fresh air this show is. Two comedy performers in complete synchronicity with each other, bringing old school slapstick to a modern audience. The joy is twofold, you get the comedy itself which ranges from slosh scenes to more knockabout humour, but there's also the joy of watching such skilled performers at work. And at just twelve minutes long, each episode is a perfect pick me up.
