Essex Comedy Writing Courses

Hello,

If anyone would be interested in attending a one day course in Colchester, please contact me for further details and information.

Thanks

Hard to say without knowing how much it costs and what the course contains.

maybe you could do the 'learning to read properly' course first...

'please contact me for further details and information.'

But surely it'd be better to put at least a few of the major details (dates, venue, cost, testimonials, website, email address) rather than ask people to PM you for them?

Especially when you're not a regular poster, or are you trying to run some sort of intriguing "teaser" campaign?

Presumably sarcasm is part of the course.

I think this is because there are no details ready yet. I PM'd and got this reply;

Hi ya

I'm just in the process of typing up all the info and will get back to you by the end of the day.

Which is kind of fair enough, but a bit like asking people if they want to come to your restaurant and then declaring you haven't decided on a menu yet.

I think maybe I'll give it a miss

I've been informed that the venue has double booked the date so new dates are being arranged. Although I'm unsure how this changes the cost or what the course offers. Think, like bushbaby, I'll be giving this a miss.

Unfortunately Monday has conspired against me to make it one of those days I'm afraid
Anyway..for anyone who is interested here is a Course Outline, dates to be arranged. Apologies for any inconvenience I have caused anyone.

I'm a Norwich man.

I went to the University of Essex and Colchester is very nice. I prefer Wivenhoe, though. That's where I lived.

Don't suppose you ever went to the Funny Farm Comedy Club in Wivenhoe, Chipolata?
