British Comedy Guide

True Life

Here is one that I made up tell me what you think:

Plot: Liz Page was walking down the road with her friend when she was killed but who by and why was she killed ? Liz has a plan to catch the killer but as she finds out it is not that easy, so she asks her ex-husband to help her but as soon finds that the killer may be harder to find then she thought, however that is untill someone pushes her into the road...

I have no idea what any of that meant and even less where I was supposed to laugh.

Is it another Waterloo Road plot?

It read like the blurb of a Point Horror book. Anyone remember Point Horror books?

I do! And they left clues in the text, thrilling stuff!

Ok...

1. Jake this is the critique forum. For comedy!

2. This sounds like I'm reading the back of a terrible murder mystery book. (not comedy)

3. Please don't post in here unless it's something that can be classed as comedy (or if you have a comment on someone elses work).

Thanks for your time.

Moving to General.

Well I laughed. More at it than with it.

Woah, woah, hold up.

"Liz Page was walking down the road with her friend when she was killed" . . . Right.

"Liz has a plan to catch the killer" - but Liz is DEAD? Ah, she comes back from the dead then? I like this idea.

"but as she finds out it is not that easy so she asks her ex-husband to help" - Not the police then? Someone fella she fell out with in 1998.

Sounds really thrilling . . .

"However that is untill someone pushes her into the road..." - That'll be her ex-husband then . . .

It was made by me tell me how I can make it better ?

I actually wouldn't know where to start Jake...

I don't think that's necessarily true, otherwise most of the things in there would be breaking that rule ;) but seriously, it makes sense to make it mainly comedy but I don't think the occasionally non-comedy hurts.

Erm just a technical point jake 'Ask Me' how can Liz find her killer if shes dead?

No her friend is dead.
