Hi, I'm Stuart

Hi, my name's Stuart, I've written a few things that have been produced by students, won an award in Glasgow and been nominated for a Scottish Students on Screen award.

Wondering if there are any other Scots here, and why all comedy schemes have stupid conditions like you've got to be aged between 17 and 17 and three weeks to enter, or you have to live in Bournemouth or "have already had work produced" - cos those are the people who need help getting stuff made, the ones who are already getting it made.

Where are the opportunities for me!? Where's the competition just for 24 year olds called Stuart who live in Glasgow and like paté on brown toast and drink soy sauce straight out of the bottle, even though they know it'll be their undoing and their chests hurt when they tie their laces?

And just any general advice on becoming a writer.

Welcome Stuart.

I have no idea about any of that, but there are a few Scots here. :)

Hi Stuart!

Laughing out loud Hi Stuart. Wave

Hello there! :)

Hiya Stuart :)

Morning

Hey Stuart... I have no answers to your rant... but I do know you're joining a group of 24 year olds on here... me being one. Although I have no aspirations to be a writer... because I suck at it.

Comedy Unit's in Glasgow. They just finished recording sketches for an open submission pilot going out on Beeb Radio Scotland. I got something on. Woo me.

Damn EllieJP looks fine. (Really can't help myself.)

Ahhhh. I'm sure I'm not the 1st guy here to have that opinion.

Stu, I'm another Stu a year older than you. I don't think it's too bad for us really. Just get out there and write. (Strangely there are a lot of wannabe and up-and-coming comedy writers with the first name Stuart. Check out the additional material credits for 'Play and Record' if you want proof and you're incredibly bored.)

I always thought you were a much older man, Yacob. Now I find out you're younger than me!

Oh and hello Stuart.

Sorry, I just really like ranting.

Heh. Ben is a dog.
