Yeah, instead of cleaning the bathroom thoroughly this afternoon I have been writing comedy (well that and carrying out a pedicure whilst listening the excellent comedy podcasts of Mr Richard Herring's Leicester Square series plus Olly and Helen's Answer Me This!. Actually, comedy podcasts are one of my current obsessions? What, another frigging thing to add to the already humongous list - grow up woman. Fine, be like that but it's mainly because they break up the tedium of doing housework* standing up on the train/reading to your child etc**
Right, after I'd received some really helpful constructive criticism from one of my friends from the London Comedy Writers I decided to write a completely new sketch for performance during Tuesday night's Sketchaggeddon session, so I did and it's about two men in a newsagent and is entitled All The Small Ads. Hopefully it's ok, I guess I'll find out on soon, won't I? I must admit that I like writing things to a very short deadline/turnaround time, it gives me much more focus than my normal fannying around ever could.
* I tend to stick my iPod in my bra whilst carrying out two of the activities listed.
** Yes, I know it's inherently wrong but the majority of kids' books are really repetitive, boring and the moral messages drive me bananas. Saying that, certain authors are much better than others and the one which contained a rather spiffing drawing of a donkey's face whilst he was having his temperature taken in the traditional asinine manner was hilarious.
