NewsRevue again! Page 47

Here's hoping fat head Brown nukes france, rapes the queen and bans the BBC the day before. Forcing a complete change in material.

I bet you've already written the sketch and are just waiting to hit send when the event actually happens.

That's exactly what I did, just before killing Michael Jackson. OOPS!

Wasn't a Highlander stylee,
"In there end there can only be one!..Mikey Jackson"

I have written a dozen obsessed comedy writers blows London up with stolen nuke.

There's still that TV producer called Mike Jackson.
And General Mike Jackson.
So there's still quite a few MJs to bump off. :P

General Mike Jackson...

I'd think that one through he's mustard.

Whoopee! Finally got a sketch on there - so they WERE getting my emails after all!

Congrats. :)

Looks like Griff got a few in too. :)

Which one's yours, sillysausage?

Ah, but, surely that Edinburgh running order isn't set in stone, as they'll require more up to the minute sketches when the time comes.

Isn't that because you desecrated Grey Friars Bobby's monument?

Ooh nice one sir!

Did they have one about Noel Edmonds dying and his grave being guarded by Greyfriar's Blobby?

Well the Edinburgh run starts a week today

Blimey! That crept up fast.

I take it Newsrevue aren't accepting material as they're so near to their Edinburgh stint. Or are they?

Cheers - it was the cure for Alzheimer's one. You can probably imagine the crux of the joke in seconds but I guess I struck the right note. I think I will use the cash from it to put down a deposit on a modest-sized apartment.

London show is accepting material, Edinburgh one isn't.

Cheers griff. I sent them an email saying I was interested in submitting and asked about cast and prop limitations but no reply so I was wondering if you kind folks know what restrictions they have? Also is it customary to just send the sketches without asking if you can submit? It's the good little choir boy in me (no dirty jokes please ;) that feels I should wait for permission first. :)
