Back in my late teens and early twenties I was what local newspapers or radio stations would call a “budding comedy writer”. On two occasions I made a little bit of progress through BBC Talent and did various other bits and bobs, I'll do the full ego-trip some other time ... you lucky lucky people!
For now I just want to remind myself that I do like writing and I want to get back into the habit of writing comedy regularly again. Hopefully I'll read my own blog in a few weeks time (because I'm a bit weird like that) and it'll spur me on.
The reason behind my prompt is firstly that a new satirical website is starting up in May, theappeal.co.uk, and I was contacted by the bloke behind it to submit stuff to it prior to it going live.* We've stayed in contact with each other after both falling at the penultimate hurdle of a BBC Talent scheme a few years back. The second reason behind my forthcoming (potential) burst of writing is that a new show is soon to start on BBC 7 and it's open door.
I used to write pretty much every week in my teens and uni years, but my Masters put pay to that and for some reason I never quite got back into the swing of things afterwards with the occasional odd burst, as it were. I'm fairly certain I'll never try stand up again though...
Don't forget that this blog is mainly to allow to me to write stuff down that interests or inspires me before I forget it. If you happen to enjoy what I write even better. I am the key demographic, bully for you if you're enjoying the ride!
* Until it goes live the link won't work of course.
