Plan B Making Fast Show Inspired Sketch Show

Plan B is developing a Fast Show-style sketch show inspired by his life on tour, it's been reported.

The rapper-turned-singer has had meeting with production companies about adapting the idea for TV.

Plan B, real name Ben Drew, has apparently been inspired by short films he and his crew have made while touring.

"Ben has a real passion for comedy and would love to create a Fast Show-style series,” a source told The Sun.

"He's always filming little skits with his crew and making up characters and funny storylines. It's a laugh for him but he feels there's something in it.

“He reckons it would appeal to a wider audience other than just his mates."

Drew has already made a number of big screen appearances and told Gigwise earlier this year that he had written a hip-hop inspired musical.
