THROUGHOUT TELEVISION HISTORY, struggling performers have searched for new and innovative ways to source funding. Many perform live street shows to advertise their product, some find ways to impress successful people within the industry.

By and large though, most just go on a good old fashioned buttquest.

Nick Brown (unfortunate surname given the context) and his comedy team have set up a Kickstarter they hope will fund a pilot for a sketch show called South Canada.

Kickstarter’s a competitive market though, so it’s important to offer enticing rewards.

Thus, a pledge of $100 means they will serenade you with an original song on Skype, $500 or more gets you a date with the guys, and $1,000 gets you V.I.P. access to the screening party.

Oh, also, for $10,000 Nick will tattoo your name on to his butt.

Seems like a pretty solid investment, but there’s been a surprising lack of interested parties thus far.

They’re still a bit shy of their goal with just over a day remaining, so if the thought of your name existing on a stranger’s hind-parts interests you, consider this an opportunity not to be missed.
