I have been interested in writing all my life, but have suffered prolonged periods of writer's block, doubtless associated with other things that were happening in my life. I have been easing myself back into writing over the last year or so, mainly through poetry and articles for websites. Only in the past three months have I turned my attention seriously to performance comedy.
My performance comedy back catalogue consists of around 40 sketches, almost all written in the past three months, and a couple of abandoned sitcom pilots, written a long time ago.
For the time being I want to concentrate on building up my sketch portfolio, and possibly get a few more items into Treason and Newsrevue, though topicals are not really my thing. Once I am satisfied with my own ability to write in the genre, I will decide if I want to take it further, and if so how to go about it.
I also want to focus seriously on a larger writing project, but I have not yet decided whether that will be performance comedy related. I have a few ideas in mind.
Just a beginner really, and a bit of a late starter.
