Hi to all that read this.
Ok introductions to get out of the way. I'm Lee. Originally from Newcastle but lived in London for 5 years and now Northampton for a couple of years.
Ive always been into comedy and how it's changed through the decades. Always enjoyed writing and used to do writing for TV, Theatre and Radio classes a few years back but never done anything with it untill the last year.
Ive always toyed with ideas and always used jokes within life and after reading the Peter Kay book the penny dropped and I thought maybe there is a way for a working class lad like me to get into writing comedy.
Ive written a sketch show (which I want to be the foot in the door), a pilot for a tv series, most of the way through writing a novel and just started writing a radio script. Guess Ive joined this site for some direction because everywhere I look agents dont touch people unless they have a deal and you can't get a deal until you have an agent. Yet I keep reading that TV is crying out for comedy.
My influences I guess would be the Marx Brothers, Lee Mack, The Mighty Boosh, Peter Kay, Eric Sykes, Andy Hamilton and the late, great Ronnie Barker.
Other than comedy I love meeting up with friends, playing sport, most music, theatre and learning about Psychology, NLP and History.
Maybe chat to some of you soon.
