Last year the BBC ran a comedy writing initiative called Jesting About which aimed to find new talent in the North East. It was championed by Shooting Stars' legend Bob Mortimer so myself and my writing partner Will were extremely lucky to get a place on it. I say 'extremely lucky', we actually sent in some pretty genius stuff.
