What is the right email address of NR folks?

I have been sending to mail@newsrevue.com but Griff has a different one up there.

Bugger, f**k, bugger.

What do you recommend? Sending everything through again?

I havent heard a pip from them and must have sent 20ish sketches.

I also asked to be added to mailing lists.

No, I would think they have received your sketches, it is a valid email address. You never hear anything back about your sketches, ever, even if they use them. All you ever get is the running order (and eventually a cheque!). So if you aren't getting the running order, maybe politely email them again to be put on the mailing list. But perhaps use the "canalcafetheatre" email address from now on.

Good that makes be feel better. We shall wait and see then!

On the competition idea.

If you guys wanted to run a competition and send us the winner I'd be happy to record the winner and include it in our show.

As long as it's

1 an audio sketch
2 no more than say 3 mins as a guide
3 Has no more than 4 characters.

We are working flat out right now for the glasgow comedy festival and doing a lot of begging for the our Edinburgh fringe shows so I couldn't judge the entries, (anyway what the f**k do I know) we have over 10000 listeners a month now so you'd get heard.

we don't make any money out of our show so we can't pay but obviously the winners will get a credit.

Anyone up for it?

EH?

Hi,

sorry I'm not very good at these forum things. I just realized that I responded to a very old post suggesting a sketch writing competition which is why my comment is out of context.

Anyway my sugestion is still there if anyone is interested.

I haven't sent anything to NR or TS in ages, I have a new and demanding mistress for my feeble talents.

I only sent a couple of bits 'n' pieces here 'n' there, usually for material requests or new runs.

I'm a busy bee at the moment with other projects.

Oh, I see.
Can't people just submit stuff to you?? ... then you can decide.

Sounds like a good way to get your name out there.

Hi

Re people submitting stuff to me. (see I don't even know how to do the quote thing) Last time I did that I got deluged with stuff, and because I wanted to be fair to everyone I spent ages reading stuff and ended up having no time to write myself, I guess that would be the problem everybody would face though.

But if someone was happy to take it on and choose the winners, we'd produce them.

ah, ok

Anyone seen the running order for this week? It's the new run isn't it?

Not I, has a habit of being late the first week.

Thats a bugger, cos I've got everything crossed here!

2 things

1 They'll never pay you more than you could drink in an evening (already I maybe a borderline alcoholic)

2 The stuff they can be use can be maddeningly random; plenty of runs written mainly by the cast, or runs where professional writers dominate, or you're just unlucky.

Worrying about running order won't make you happy.
