It's been a terrific, action-packed week of creative expression. I've been editing some previous stories for submission to various publications which I've enjoyed far more than I anticipated. There is a reason why they've been sitting in a box for so long! If there were only more hours in the day, but alas, we've recently lost another one - DRAT!
I had a dinner meeting with some of my comedy colleagues on Friday night to plot and plan our weekend of mahem. On Saturday, I was recording radio sketches as a supporting act for my friends Sam and Dave - a brilliant comedy duo who have recently acquired a second slot for their radio comedy sketch show called The Sam and Dave Show. Writers from all over the UK have been submitting their sketches to them for inclusion in the show and we read them all with rapt attention! There are so many talented writers out there! It was a great day - lots of hard work, but even more laughter. That's the beauty of comedy - it's tough, but when you get it right you're floating. We managed to record about twelve sketches which is a great accomplishment considering we didn't stop laughing for the first two hours. James Bond will never be the same to me again!
I've got one Barefaced Cheek show to get ready for - 18th April (Barnfield Theatre, Exeter) and then we'll be wrapping up for the time being. Hopefully we will be able to work remotely on a new programme for Barefaced Cheek which will see me fly back from Canada for future performances.
My new obsession is with comedy songs, so I've been spending time trying to destroy the most influential songs of my youth with my own warped version of life around me. It's enough to make you cry...with pity!
That's all I have to report for now. I've just spotted an interesting show coming up at the Exeter Phoenix in May - The Wondermentalists present Taking the Mic. I'm thinking that this might be a good opportunity for me to perform one of the poems I wrote for the Vibaraphonic Poetry Slam (but was in Hospital with my daughter so had to pull out :(). I may get in touch with them very soon....
Always look for opportunities, sometimes they do just appear right out of nowhere!
