There's a London roadshow next Thursday (15th January) from 5:30pm-7pm. There's a Belfast one coming up at the end of the month too (29th, same times).

Dan
Writers' Room: Roadshows
The naming of these just makes me think that Cheggars and Gary Davies are going to be there, throwing 'Writersroom Rocks' t-shirts into a screaming crowd of 13 year olds.

I think that's how the Writersroom works, yes.

I love these bang up to date references. 
Cheers for posting that Dan, I've asked to be put on the list. I hope the bouncers are friendly.
Anyone else going to the London one?
As usual with these kind of things, Newcastle gets ignored yet again.

I can't believe we haven't got one in Newcastle! Pretty dissapointing. I would have thought Newcastle would have been a dead cert-oh well!

Fair point! He was number one the day I was born as well so I fear I have been banished to a life of disspointment and misery thanks to the record buying public!

Sting gets punished enough for all of us - he has to have regular tantric sex sessions with Trudy Styler.

Maybe Steve Wright will be there? You could beat him to death with a sitcom script.

Or just ask him to read it.
I wouldn't trust Mark P he doctors most of his scripts.
About their guest list, is it necessary for entry or grants you a reserve in case it packs out; or does it give you license to bombard them with scripts and shit?
