Tomorrow afternoons the dead line for this week, has every one got loads in?
I've done a little but confidence a bit wobbled by not getting in either running order for News or Treason.
NewsRevue again!
Sent a few in, but no joy either. Did you get sent the running order for Treason? I only seem to get sent one after the Brighton show.

I sent 5 sketches in. That's enough for me.
I got an email back from Mark B at Treason saying my effort was a nice idea and nice try and to keep going. This was my first attempt at NR and Treason. So, its an encouraging start.
There seems to be a lot of users of this site sending stuff to those two shows.
I've sent 4 sketches to Treason recently. 2 batches of 2x sketches, but no reply.....
Its the only outlet for all us hugely frustrated sketch writers, hence I suspect the inboxs for both shows must be gravid with sketches.
Thanks for the running order, Joel. Still no joy.
I got an email from Mark Brailsford too, saying he liked a Bush/Obama sketch but it needed a stronger ending. Tried to do it, but it obviously didn't satisfy.
I hate punchlines, especially trying to write them long after inspiration has died away.
Me neither, I think alot of the time it's what the performers feel happy with,
a rejected sketch may be still a good one
an accepted one may still suck (thinking of my own efforts in this respect)
Have just written and sent a sketch on bugging MPs called (wait for it)
Bugger! oh where has my comedy mojo gone
It may me more helpful for people to post when they actually get stuff in rather than stuff they are sending or this could become a very long thread (see the other one)
Then it may be a very short thread
Thats the idea
Just an idea ...........
what if someone who knows them suggested we have a competition on here every week and they do the winning one?
Could be good publicity for BSG or them.
How would we enforce it, if some one sent in one that didn't win?
Would we be like the Masons and enforce our own brutal justice, and custard pie them to death, before taking their trousers off and hiding them in a cupboard?
Otherwise great idea.
