Phil Whelans has created a new online platform by the name of Pushstarter. As the name suggests, it shares a few basic principles with Kickstarter – but this one is very, very different.

If we tell you that the initial projects for which Pushstarter is trying to raise financial backing include Noah’s Ark, the Bake’s 7 season finale, and the building of Stone Henge, you’ll get the general idea: Pushstarter is a parody of Kickstarter, brought to you by the comedy brain of Phil Whelans.

It’s pretty darned accurate, with the ‘rewards’ that are offered to backers also brilliantly pastiched. Our particular favourite is offered to anyone contributing 50p and over to the production of the Blake’s 7 finale: ‘No thanks and a chance to be in the Studio audience at Top of the Pops when Dave Lee Travis isn’t hosting’.

Lets’ hope the folk at Kickstarter have a sense of humour; as Phil says on the site: “If Kickstarter try to sue for copyright infringement, we hope you’ll contribute to our legal fighting fund through our Kickstarter campaign.”
