Lend Me Your Ears...

A bit of good news to share.

As those following the story know I made it to the last 23 writers in last year's BBC Sketch Factor competition. Whilst I didn't make it as one of the winning 10, the 13 runners up have all been invited to submit two sketches per week for the new Radio 4 comedy sketch show which is showcasing the winners.

Well this week one of my submissions got the thumbs up and will be performed at next Tuesday's recording! *yikes* this will be the first time EVER that anything I have written has been performed.

They do record more than they need and so it awaits to be seen if the audience respond favourably to my efforts and whether I'll make the edit for the final broadcast version but I am just so chuffed (and nervous) to have made it to the audience!

I have entered two sketches per week, religiously, and have tried to listen to the show and producer's comments and taken those on board - hopefully this is a sign I am learning.

I will keep you posted as to whether I get a coveted radio credit but in the meantime be sure to tune in to the show, Record For Training Purposes as it's proving very funny.

Colour me impressed! You must let us know if it's going to be broadcast. We'll listen in avidly if so and them bombard the BBC with calls for more work by this exciting new talent they've discovered. We'll make you a star yet! Just remember us when you're famous.

Yay! I'm so proud. I meant to ask if that was the show (I noticed it during my recent Radio 4 trawling). Well done. That Suzi's a wonder, isn't she?! :)

That's great, you just have to keep slogging and one day it pays off.
