British Comedy Guide

Looking for a writer!

Hi there... this may be an unusual request but I am looking for a ten minute comedy script to perform for one night (and maybe more if usccessful) in the West End. I am a very versatile and enthusiastic actress and have experience in getting things done and shown! It will be a kind of showcase of your work and mine respectively. I have written one little skit myself I could show you on my myspace page. I am just stuck for comedy ideas. The script has to be a monologue or duologue and can last no longer than ten mins. It will be shown in June for one eve (to start with) in the West End venue TBA.

Please email any interest to me: joanna@joannaking.co.uk

I'll move this over to the writers' forum. :)

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been thinking of writing monologues for a while now, to perform myself. Is there anything in particular you want?

Any sort of style? Why not ask Charley Rance?

I just watched your MySpace interview sketch, and although I don't know her, I think Charley Rance has already written a lot of stuff that fits this style. Suggest giving her a personal message. And good luck.

Hi Hun. Do you have a link to your My Space so i can have a gander please.

Thanks /David by the way.

I may not be what you are looking for. I think it was David Chapman but not too sure who said I was an aquired taste.lol.

Tell us some more info hun, like what you are after etc.

Sorry to bump this old thread up......

I was just glancing through old threads and I'm amazed nothing came of this. Surely this was a wind-up...joanna king...jo king?

And now I've just checked out the website http://www.joannaking.co.uk it looks legit. I'm just confused!

Probably an old pissed off user, who wanted to watch us scrabble for some work.

Joanne asked for sketches to be emailed to her some time back. I emailed a couple and never heard from her since

Talking of possible wind ups, did anybody hear back from the gay bloke who wanted gay-themed material for a possible Edinburgh show? I know he posted some material on a Facebook page, but as far as I know that's as far as it went.

What! Not even a So long & thanks for the material?

Jeez we’ll have Nigerian Businessmen asking for our bank account details next.

:D Exactly, one has to be very careful, my sketches could have been nicked

Joanna King does look to be a working actor. As we all know 'The Business' is swamped with extremely focussed go-getters who seem to forget all too quickly the rules of good manners. I suppose these people should be given the benefit of the doubt if it has only happened once but to not acknowledge your work BB is bad form.

Yeah it was a proper request. It was my script she was working with and she auditioned it but didn't make it on the show...my sketch was crap or her acting? :D Joking, I wasn't that pleased with the sketch looking back and would definitely have gone a different direction if I was doing it again.
