It's fan-f**king-tastic. Like watching a professional porn star shag your missus, but not in a sleazy way. When the audience laugh its great, when they sit in shocked silence, at a particularly dark joke it's even better.
Glad you enjoyed it James. Liked the stuff you'd had in, and when I saw it they did it proud.
Course I had 5 in, so like watching my fictional missus get spitroasted.

Yep! Even though I didn't send anything this time.
Thanks!
They don't usually change much week to week do they?
I suppose to some extent it's easier to repeat stuff they've learned rather than learn a whole new show every week.
Quote: Griff @ April 12 2008, 11:29 PM BSTCharles Trenet Boum 1 Mr and Mrs Sarkozy sing about France
Can I just point out that this one's mine. "Charles Trenet" did indeed sing the original of Boum but that was in 1939...
Hopefully NR will pay me for this one and not the estate of M.Trenet.
Here it is by the way (Original, not NR version): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0KWyWwVp0E
Well done Griff - bastard!

That most recent running order is the first week of the new run, and a completely new show. They change cast and director every six weeks, and in the couple of weeks before the change-over is the best time to get stuff taken for the new run. After that, they only change maybe 20% a week, and lots stays in all the way through.
Aha. Didn't know that. Thanks John!
I am quite chuffed to bits at having something in this week, as I haven't really submitted an awful lot for a while. (And thanks Dave ) I really must try and write some more. I didn't imagine for a second I'd be in this week. It really is rewarding having people think your stuff is good enough to perform. I mean, these people really hang their balls out hoping that the sketches work.

You're becoming quite a regular while it looks like I was just a flash in the pan.
What did they use of yours Dave?
