Sketch Writing Competition - The Darkly Show Page 2

Quote: Michael Hughes @ March 13 2012, 7:17 PM GMT

The criteria for your submission is straightforward: it should be funny (of course), under 3 pages and try to keep the props and settings simple.

Would a sketch that's two and half pages long be permissible?

2 and a half pages is fine but it needs to be funny throughout

I've just submitted three sketches.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who entered. Me and Callum have got some deciding to do. We'll let you know when we decide. We're on twitter @thedarklyshow.

We do plan to do another competition soonish so keep in touch!

Michael

Sorry about the delay. We've narrowed it down to two sketches and we're just thinking which will work best with our limited resources.

Racking my brains as to whether I submitted anything to this. (scratches head)

If you win, then you had entered. If you don't win, then you hadn't.

Dimples!

We finally have a winner! We chose The Debt of Superman by Richard Dowling. We'll post it on here when we have filmed it. Thanks to everyone who entered. If you want some feedback give us a shout @thedarklyshow on twitter and remind us what your sketches were.

What the what?!? Richard Dowling is me! I'm really chuffed about this! Thanks! When will the sketch be filmed?

Well done, Evan/Richard!

Dan

Well done Evan :)

You were indeed correct.
I checked my Sent Emails folder and found that I HADN'T sent anything.
Incidentally, you did enter... and won. Just like you predicted.

Congrats. Looking forward to seeing the sketch. :)

Yeh I thought I'd entered the Oscars.

Turns out I was having sex with a muppet in a dustbin.

Thanks everyone!
