Britain’s leading children’s animated builder, Bob the Builder, has been announced as the headline act for Studio 338’s autumn/winter schedule.
After tragically burning down earlier this month, Studio 338 have this week launched a Kickstarter campaign to help raise enough funds to rebuild and reopen their iconic terrace, recently renamed the Atrium after renovation, as quickly as possible.
It now appears that Bob the Builder will be the man trusted with task rejuvenating one of London’s best loved clubs.
Wunderground caught up with Bob, who actually speaks in a South London accent and not the dull droll of Neil Morrison that we were used to, earlier today, “People are always surprised to hear that I’m a Londoner, they only drafted that northern cunt Morrissey in because they thought my accent and dirty mouth was a bit much for a children’s television show. The truth is I’ve never been further north than Dagenham.”
“I’m a local boy and I’ve been going to Studio 338 since it opened so I was as gutted as anyone when I heard it had burnt down,” explained Bob, who insists on being called Robby the Wreck-head while away from the building site. “I was honoured when the team approached me about the renovation. Work’s been a little bit slow for me since the show started, people tend not to take you serious in the building game when you’re a cartoon so I was just relieved to be offered something other than a loft conversion in Hackney or a celebrity appearance at the opening of a Montessori.”
“Now all we need is the public to dig deep and help make it happen,” continued Bob. “Thankfully most of the people who went to the club aren’t Northerners, and they’re not afraid to put their hands in their wallets, so I don’t see us having any problem raising the money. I’ve also agreed to reinvest every penny I get paid for my work at the bar so it’s a win win situation. So, go on, stick a few quid in the Kickstarter and let’s get this show on the road.”
This post is published by Wunderground in association with and in support of Studio 338 and their rebuild efforts. Studio 338 is an amazing club, and we at Wunderground would like to see it open for business as soon as possible, especially during this somewhat turbulent time for London clubs. If Studio 338 meant something to you, then please support them to get the doors back open as quickly as possible, they are offering really great family rewards and many happy memories in return.
