Comedy Group

    Some of you possibly already know that I'm looking for people (mostly females) to form a female comedy group. As well as filming people - to shoot my scripts.

    A couple of people applied, and all of them look talented. I was rethinking my original idea, I think any of my scripts would be a very large project as a first task therefore my new idea is that we would do a sketch-show instead. It's very likely that the shooting will be sometime in the autumn, and according to the more experienced people who applied, a sketch-show easily can be done in about 3 days.

    I've got spare sketches, as well as I can use sketches from my scripts (to promote my scripts - or my own materials), and some of the gals also said they've got some.

    I'd like to involve you, forum people, as well. At the moment we're struggling to keep in touch with the future group members, due to the lack of time, etc. At the moment, we try to keep the contact mainly via email or FB. The people are mainly London-based, but some of them live in other cities, or even countries. So, the idea is, that II gave a deadline to them, to submit their sketches (15th of October), and maybe we can shoot in November. But those, who can't take part on shootings, but want to be in, also as a cast, and they have a recording device (even if only a simple phone that can record moving pictures) then they have an opportunity - to shoot their own sketches by themselves. 

    So, if any of you are interested to take part, please, submit your sketches or your videos - I created a closed FB group, so, before submitting, please, tell me if you're interested, and I'll add you to the list.

    I'd be very happy, if some of you were interested (like @Lozzykinz, @MrsThing, @MsFannytwinklebutt, @McBeanhead, @Zelda, @Leichenhallex, etc.)

    I really can't write comedy worth a damn, and I can't act, either. But you should send Lozzy a private message either on Twitter or Facebook, because she might be interested. She's got a great talent for writing; don't know about acting.

    Yes, Zelda, sure!

    OK, good idea, MrsT, she's not here too often lately! Once I asked her about this, but it was at the very beginning of my project and she was hesitating. Let's hope she's interested!

    Btw, you can send funny poems or pictures (self-made) or animations, too!

    I have stuff I can submit right now! I forgot that MsFannytwinklebutt IS a fake name, so I'll just use that!
    Yay! Okay. I'm in. You have my facebook link anyway. Yay! Fun! But don't put anything under my real name. :)
    Oh Yay! I'll send you something today even! My teenager will probably want a fake name, too.She's in one of them.

    Okay. I'm out. I looked at and listened to some of the very brief comedy type things I did in the past couple of years and they are very awful. I don't want to do this.

    Oh, cool, I'm happy that you, guys, love the idea! I haven't asked Lozzy and NATALIE yet. But it would be great, if they are interested, too.

    Let me know, when you're ready - both with the written or filmed materials, and you can submit to the FB page.

    I really believe in this project, btw. Opossum & Turkish could send us videos, too. And CP (also the John-video... please...). And Mariagrazia, and Vale. And everybody else, who wants to.

    I wanted to, but then I reviewed my videos again, and it was all atrocious and not very funny.

    Well...? If it's true, the filming starts in late October... And lasts for a couple of days (except if you deliver your material as properly filmed/recorded).

    I am making a late entrance,  flipping my Maybelline hair with overbearing indifference, and sneering at any who may doubt my comedic domination.

    Er, well fuck off.

    FUCK OFF!!!

    I said it first.

    FUCK RIGHT OFFF!!!!!

    One too may F's

    Sorry, FUCK RIGHT OFF!!

    That's better.



    A truly British resolution.
