Sensual Comedy: The saucy social media phenomenon that’s gripping the North East with both hands

A North East comedian has launched a Twitter account dedicated to saucy shots of his comedy colleagues.

Sunderland stand-up Matt Reed – pictured – has set up the @mmmcomedyerotic Twitter handle, promising to “give the girls wide-ons and the boys bonk-ons.”

The social media account, which has attracted over 130 followers in just two days, encourages comedians to share their sordid selfies online – and naturally they were only too keen to thrust themselves into the spotlight!

Speaking to Giggle Beats, Reed explained the bizarre phenomenon that’s exploded on to the North East comedy circuit.

“After a game of football [comedian] Lee Kyle and I took some erotic – in the loosest possible sense – photos for a laugh,” Reed said.

“I posted them on my Facebook page and said, ‘That’s right, ladies – more to come.’ They were ridiculous, but did generate a lot of chuckles and the week after we did more.

“As I went around the country I took them with other comics and it became a thing people asked for so I thought it’d be a good laugh to do it as a Twitter feed with fellow comedians sending saucy pics.”

Several stand-ups, including Kai Humphries, Si Buglass, Tony Jameson, Martin Mor and Nick Cranston, have already stripped off for the Twitter handle.

But for those thinking of swapping knob gags for cock pictures, Reed insists he really doesn’t want to see your nethers.

“I’m not asking for porn, just titillation or – on some occasions – revulsion,” he said.

Inspired by The Stand’s recent charity book launch, Reed says he wants his comedy colleagues to come together for a charity calendar once the account is more established.

“Anything with any attention can be used for a launch pad, really, and with this I feel like a calendar for charity would be ideal.

“What I want is at least a thousand followers and I’d like the comics to all join in because, well, why the fuck not?”

    I mean, if anything, I set it up, Reed is like…erm…whatever, I can’t think of a workable simile, it’s late.

    But I set it up.
