Does anyone know the cut-off point for the Edinburgh show? I take it there is a period of time where they're no longer taking submissions once they take the show to Edinburgh.

I think it passed.

But super quickies will be taken upto the last minute.

Ah right, cheers.

Ed Show opportunities have passed. (unless you have any ultra-topical quickies)

For the next two weeks at Canal Cafe, (starting Thursday) they'll be performing their Edinburgh Review show, which is basically a preview show of what they'll be using at the EdFest.

Ed Previews week 1 of 2.

If you are the writer of any of the *** gaps, email NR.

Given it is too late to submit stuff now, when is the best time to contact them? Just before a new run, I suspect, but when is that?

New run starts week after next.

Thursday 29th July.

Which means the final deadline for the new run is Tuesday 27th.

However, some sketches are changed/dropped/whatever during the run, depending on what topicality, so send stuff in each week.
Although your best chance is at the start of a run.

Go to the newsrevue.com site and you'll find info on how to write for the show, the email addy to send to, etc.

Introduce yourself in the email and ask to be placed on their writers newsletter list.

Then you'll find their material requests, new run dats, new directors, etc in your inbox.

Got one in, hoorah!

Well done M.M.

What's your secret Mikey J. You do very well on NR. Once you get on, is it easier? I have only recently submitted some stuff, but no luck yet.

No secret really. Like in any show, you need to learn to write in their "style" which is sometimes silly, other times clever and always stabbingly satirical.

Oh, and it's a good idea (if logistically viable) to go and see the show a few times to "get" their format.
