Hi I'm new to the site and saw a bit about Newsrevue. What is it? And how would I try to write for it? Thanks.
What is Newsrevue?
Most of it's covered in the Newsrevue thread, but it's fair to say you need to wade through it a bit. In a nutshell, it's this:
My advice for writing is: keep it short and have a big punchline.
And swear!
F**k you, Bigfella!
I asked to get added to the Newsrevue writers list email thing, but never received an email from them.
So I gave up on the idea, and killed a stranger to balance the cosmic karma.

Well you only really appear on that whilst you are writing for them.
Oh. It would appear a man has died in vain. 
There are no strangers only friends we haven't met yet.
If you see the show you can have a chat with the admin
They are nice people
Well I was on their list the minute I started writing for them and then a week after my last sketch I had no more.
I still get the lists now and I haven't sent them a thing in about three years.

I don't even remember what it was but I sure bet it was mediocre!
I've never had the list. I always assumed it didn't exist and was just a secret code.

Psssst Badge... you're right, it doesn't exist - just like the 'auto-reply' from Newsjack - but don't tell Blenkinsop.
has anyone got a running order for this weeks show yet?
