The Road to Edinburgh & Flyers
I’ve had some interest from the Channel 4 comedy report, who have asked me to come up with a series of short video clips for their website about my ‘Road to Edinburgh’. I’ve also had interest from the Eczema Society, who I got in touch a while back explaining who I am and what I was planning to do.
Meanwhile, back the writing of the show itself, I’ve been re-reading the leaflets the Eczema society provide to deal with and manage eczema, and some of it brought back quite painful memories. Ouch. The toughest part of coming up with material is knowing what to leave in, take out, and above all keep it funny. It’s a tricky line to walk, eczema itself isn’t funny, and the show shouldn’t be piece of public therapy. It should also be accesable to everyone, without shying away from the subject matter. tough remit, but certainly doable. The Next stage really is to get as many previews as I can, to test what works and what doesn’t.
The flyers are done now, they look very classy.
