British Comedy Guide

Didn't I do well or you can go to hell?

So we've got a thread for what we want to do next year, but how well have us chisseling little writers done?

Did you kick in the door at fortress BBC? Sneak in the window or are you pathetically trying to shove your bloated ego filled head through the catflap?

How did Sootyj do.

1 Started writing properly (Well started in October 2007 so shoot me).

2 Managed a pretty respectable number of sketches in News Revue and Treason show. (Actually got 9 in for 2 weeks and felt pretty good about that).

3 Sold some gags to 118 118 (and got some books as a prize for hardwork)

4 Was ignored by every open talent slot at the BBC.

5 Got 4 minutes 20 seconds at King Gong and made an audience member leave in tears.

6 Did a rubbish comedy course that lead to an awful show, but met Tony Allan and Pappy's fun club which was nice.

7 Wrote several sketches for the most influential alternative comedy show in Exeter. Sold out every performance.

8 Was comissioned to write a movie script, that is currently festering on his hard drive.

9 Wrote 5 sitcom pilots, 1,723 sketches, 2 standup routines for others, that f**king screen play and 4 sketch show pilots. Also had 2 paid standup gigs.

10 Was interviewed by the great Bussell on the UK's best and most embittered sitcom forum.

11 Had a short film recorded in London Bridge, which may be touring the small film festivals. It has a very good piss joke in it.

12 Had a bunch of his 118 118 jokes featured in a Sun editorial on how shit 118 118 jokes are. They declined his generous offer of an interview.

13 Wrote 30 pages of a play and got bored, so went back to trying to kill squirrels with mind bullets.

14 Had a full time job.

15 Picked his nose alot.

16 Had a 15 minute pod cast play produced by the Wireless Theatre Company. They may produce part 2 now Sootyj's corrected the spelling and grammar. May turn into an annual sitcom/soap opera.

:O

Is that good or bad?

Only 1723 sketches Sootyj, you'll need to buck up your ideas for 2009.

Thats more than respectable, my friend won the last King gong and some people were hounded off before they made it to the mic, savage.

I went to see King Gong earlier in the year and the MC was saying things like "This next contestant is probably shit, so make sure you give them a f**king horrible time".

Was it seefacts?

Dropped me trousers.

Seriously, I asked if she knew where I could buy some rohypnol as she clearly given some to her boyfriend.

In my defence she'd been very rude to me.

Oooh very nice rejoinder.

Santa has some great rejoinders this time of year.

So what did the esteemable Dr Mato do in 2008-2009? And do you have a doctorate?

Dr Mato gave up rez life against her family wish. She bought a house and is writing a book of experiences that is contracted and is on time with deadlines and getting better at english.

Dr Mato is making enough monies to live and help her family not live in poverty any now.Her dad has warm clothes and much food and heat. Her brother now has truck and small business and much the same as dad has.

Dr Mato has been able to supply cousins with much of the same as dad and brother so they may learn to have things on own.

It has been the best year of my life.

Fantastic, is this all funded by the writing?

Writing pay for house and automobiles. Artwork pay for food, heat and rest.
