Am I right to assume that the latest running order's going to be performed next week?

No, unless I've lost track myself, I think this is this week's order. So if you want to be reasonably sure of seeing your sketch you'd need to go tonight or Sunday. Although it's fair to say that usually most of the show stays the same for most of the six week run.This is week 2.

Congrats on getting your first credit by the way. If you can go to see it, it really helps to understand the way the show works and is just a great buzz, although Sunday can be a bit quiet. If you ask nicely they'll probably give you a comp.

Each run ( i.e. same director and cast) lasts for 6 weeks.
In that time, the majority of sketches stay the same, but some get changed along the way, replaced by more topical stuff.

Hi - We're about to start week four of the current run next (that opens on Thurs 29th), and we're changing about a quarter of the show each week. The best time to get scripts over to NewsRevue if you want a chance of being included is by Monday of each week, as we start rehearsing on Tuesdays.

Cheers!

In the six days since I discovered that my sketch was used (via Mikey - not via email), I've heard nothing from Newsrevue.

Should I sit back and wait a bit longer, or send them an email?

just wait they take a while for them to send cheques out and they don't contact you to tell you they've used your sketch at all. I had sketches in the last run from week 2 to week 6 and I've not got ym cheque yet. Takes them a while to get round to it

At present, they haven't got my home address - only my email address.

the first time I got something on they sent me an email to ask for my home address - they'll prob do that then keep it on file for future use

Are there any written examples of sketches they've used on here?

Thanks Mikey - I haven't got a running order for months

Funnily enough (well, not that funny really!) I get each running order three times via three different emails.
I've changed my main email twice and they've still got the other two addys on the list, even though I keep asking them to remove them.
