Variety Shac developing series for Adult Swim

July 14th, 2007 | Category: Adult Swim

Variety Shac, an all-women comedy troupe consisting of Shonali Bhowmik, Heather Lawless, Chelsea Peretti and Andrea Rosen, are developing a sketch comedy series for Adult Swim. At least, this interview with Peretti in the NY Observer alludes to such.

You can watch some of Variety Shac’s short films here, or check out Peretti’s stuff on Super Deluxe. I like what I’ve seen, but I’m not certain how it would play to an Adult Swim audience, which I would guess is mostly male. And yes, I’m perfectly aware of how closed-minded that makes me sound, but

I think Variety Shac’s perverse type of lady-centric comedy would work better on Comedy Central. I’m not saying it would crash and burn on Adult Swim, but I think it would struggle to find an audience.

Of course, all we have to go one is that one tiny snippet from the Observer, we don’t know what stage of development the series is in, or whether it’s been officially picked up by Adult Swim. I’ll keep you guys posted as I find out more.
