Electric Forecast

photo of Electric Forecast Electric Forecast (Dan Wright & Steve Marsh) is an exciting and enriching new style of double act - a unique coupling of upbeat physical and observational comedy with slick synchronised interactions. Dan Wright and Stephen Marsh burst onto the comedy scene in 2001 and quickly made a name for themselves as a young, slick and original duo. Steve Marsh, best known as one-half of the double-act Electric Forecast, has just finished filming a major role in Ken Loach's new movie 'Looking for Eric'. Steve plays Zac Diamond - the lead bad guy, who lives the flash footballer life style. The film is co-produced by ex-footballer Eric Cantona, who also co-stars in the film with Steve Evets - alias Dickie Fingers in Life On Mars. The film is due to be released in summer 2009.

Such is their chemistry, that it was only a matter of time before TV spotted their potential. In May 2006 they began filming 'I'm a Crash Test Dummy', for Sky. The series follows Dan & Steve as they flirt with danger, and test the 'indestructibility factor' of everything from bullet-proof sunglasses to chainsaws. The 10 x 60 minute series will be broadcast in Feb 2007 for 10 weeks on Sky One. Prior to this they presented and starred in their own evening sports show for SKY, 'Fanzone' and hosted 'TV Land', a quiz show on Nation 217. The versatile pair also star in their own hit kids BBC TV series ‘Big Cook Little Cook’, which is rapidly gaining cult status amongst adults. The new series can currently be viewed as a double bill at weekends, on Cbeebies. As well as working together, Steve and Dan have written and acted in a range of TV work on an individual basis. They are prolific writers and currently have several television formats in development. Steve and Dan are managed by Charlotte Hamilton at Charlotte Hamilton Productions: www.chproductions.org.uk
