Edinburgh 27th

Just found out yesterday that BBC Comedy are organizing a live reading of my sitcom "Skin Deep" at the Cabaret Bar, Pleasance Courtyard, Edinburgh, on the 27th, at 1pm-ish. There'll be 3 script excerpts read from 3 different writers on the BBC Northern Laughs scheme including myself, each excerpt being about 15 minutes long.

I am, of course, shitting my pants. If you're around Edinburgh on the 27th, please come. And please laugh. Teary

Sounds exciting.

Have you had any of your sitcom scripts performed to an audience before?

God I do hope so :)

I'm there then and will do my best to check it out, well done Lee!

Nice one Lee. I'm in Edinburgh on that date but not sure where I'll be on the day yet. I'll get in touch again if I can make it.

Will you be there? You don't seem to have been given much notice!

Fingers crossed it goes well for you.

:)

ps Hi Daddy Maz - I was posting at the same time as you. See you there maybe!

Congratulations - hopefully we will get a report from those who do manage to go and see it. :)

That's what I'm afraid of :D

Super congratulations and best of luck Lee. It sounds terrifying but it will also be performed for industry types, so it could be the start of something big.

If you can, ask the organisers to put your one on last, they always seem to do the best in these types of competition.

Wear a kilt, that way you can easily discard your 'nerve bricks' with the minimum of fuss and attention.

Outwardly generous with my congratulations inwardly as a would be writer ready to hack you down like a dog if it goes badly :P

I'll be there. F**ker.
