Actor Writer Improviser

Franky Kemp

Comedy and character actor - improviser - comedy sketch writer

I can do subtle - but boldly; contained but intense. However, what I really revel in and can shake the bejeebers out of is a good character part. Always did. I relish the physical embodiment of the barrel of any paradoxical characters that gets pushed my way.

A mime training, acting school and years of comedy improv have helped hone the curious to the plain weird because we're all a bit of both, aren't we?

Franky’s Funnies: award-winning shorts

Hear the one about the Trainee Dominatrix?

Failing to please her client, she persists until they stumble upon a rather unusual source of pleasure, surprising them both.

This comedy sketch in which I acted, as well as produced and devised has been selected as:

  • Winner - Super Short Comedy at Lit Laughs International Comedy Film Festival

  • chosen for the Official Selection International Micro Short Film Festival 2023

  • and Finalist for the Austin Micro Film Festival 2023

My dark comedy, 'Back on the Shelf', is about hanging on to hope despite the glaring reality of a relationship: a reality that eventually comes, literally, crashing down.

The truth is inescapable.

Something (sadly) relatable yet comic: a 'sadcom' as opposed to a straightforward comedy.

Official Selection for:

  • Poor Life Choices Comedy Film Festival 2023

  • FilmHaus Berlin 2023

  • Lonely Wolf Festival 2023
