Slagg Brothers' News Page 3
Just to let you know:
Our stage show debut (at Glasgow) was scary. First night we totally bombed. After a good opening, the sketches were maybe too intellectual and badly delivered. Plus we had our time segments messed around and we had to make costume changes on-the-fly, a jammed zipper resulting in 30 seconds plus of deadtime between sketches (an eternity). That night we were very low. I'd spent so much time rehearsing and planning the changes and they were thrown by circumstances beyond our control, but at least this was a minor consolation.
We had a long think for the second night, and moved all our impact sketches into the 2 slots. The delivery was smoother, the changes faster. We had more laughs and some of the audience reaction gasps were amazing to hear during a realistic vomit and a stunt ejaculation. Oddly, the Slagg Brother who knew his lines almost seamlessly in rehearsal was the one who fluffed some lines.
We'll be looking for more gigs at places that do raw comedy. Any one know of venues?
Well done mate. I was wondering how it went. I don't think I could do it.
Downstairs at the Kings head in Crouch end(London) specialise in sketch comedy rather than stand up its a good venue.
Cheers WJFK, and thanks for the tip-off, Daddy Maz. Love the Mr T loop btw.
Nice one chief, your a braver man than I.
Hey there Mr Slagg, just wanted to say well done on making your live debut! And keep at it!! Youre up there doing something Id love to, but dont think I ever actually will; nice and safe behind my keyboard . . . no nasty people telling me Im shit . . . .
The Slagg Brothers are presenting Trouble TV's show, MyTV:Homegrown tonight (11:00 pm or Midnight on Sky 201). Nothing spectacular but you'll get to see the real us. Well, I lie. One of us. But the t'other Slagg is very fetching in his stage gear.
Oh poo. I missed it!
Congrats again to the SB's. I don't have Trouble so I didn't see it either but they eventually post the episodes online here so looking forward to it:

I believe you did the 21st episode? I think one of my animations in on your episode 
Yep, the archeology dig, very good it was. It was the stand-out sketch in our opinion.
Bollocks I didn't read this until today. Did it go well? is it just a one off or will you be doing it again?
Shoepie/Slag do you get a lot of stuff shown on this?
We've had about 8-9 sketches on there. ShoePie's had a few, Matthew Stott too. Matthew won a prize off them. More than the Slagg Brothers ever have. Here's hoping ShoePie gets this week's award.

Maybe, but theyve never asked me to present an episode, a far greater accolade I think!!! Havent recieved or heard anything further about the prize Ive supposed to have won on there either . . .
Well done again on presenting an episode, Ill take a look when they put it on line.
Just watched it online. It's good. Well done.
