To be honest Mikey, I think you're the only person who ever gets it...

View original

I get it every week, and I haven't written for the bloody show in three years.

Just curious, I glance at these running orders sometimes and think "F**k me, how long does this show go on for?". Obviously a lot of material must be quickies, but what is the average running time for NewsRevue?

I've seen it run for anything between 60 and 90 minutes.

Cheers.

On the occasions I've seen it, it's lasted for just over an hour. Say 1hr 10 or thereabouts.

There's a lot of quickfire sketches.

Hey Mikey do you know if this run will be 6 or 7 weeks?

Cheers

Each run is usually 7 weeks, but the new run starts on October 22nd, which makes this coming Thursday the final week of this run. (which will be 6 weeks)

Cheers Mikey.

And maybe this next cast won't insist on writing half of it.

Dear Beelzebozo, we didn't insist, it was a case of needs must. It is a comedy show after all.

I think the subject of the cast writing has come up before, about a year ago.
Thing is, many cast members are writer/performers/all rounders, plus they have he added bonus of knowing first hand what works and what doesn't throughout the run.

And hi Nick. Welcome to the boards.
We don't often get cast members here.

Incidently, looking at the running order, Nick turned my Ross Kemp sketch into a set of three runners, so obviously he'd see more potential for it than I could have invisaged.

Shame I didn't get a chance to see that run. It would have been interesting how the three sketches worked.
