Its been a long three months since I've started University (for the second time), I've done a lot of things whilst I've been there. Some things the likes of which I have kept secret from you. Some as a matter of... well they wouldn't be worth you're while to know and well the less you know you know ;p. The other parts which I have kept secret was because its delicate nature...

Delicate as I didn't want to jinx anything and get your hopes up for nothing.

You see in the past months I've been working to secure a few new creative opportunities the likes of which may be of interest to you.

May as the off shoot of these twists could be off a boon (my creativity and out put at least)


-Hall's Variety Pack-

This the more direct one, the big one, you see the good people at Frequency Radio (the student radio station) have foolishly seen fit to give me my own radio show on its already jam packed schedule. This show is entitled 'Hall's Variety Pack' (in case you hadn't already guessed) and is a weekly light entertainment show broadcast from 9pm (GMT) to 11pm every Saturday starting this Saturday (the 6th). By light entertainment I mean music and comedy, interviews with up and coming musicians and bands as well as comedians. But that is not all no-no on of the features is to be a radio comedy series named 'British Gump'.

A name the likes of which you should all be familiar with. Yes that's right I am going to be adapting British Gump to the Radio. Its an interesting processes to say the least. And its first episode will (hopefully) be broadcast on the 13th of November.

In its place this week will be the News a Twinge an adaptation of my one man show from Monday which will start at (approximately) 10pm.

The most popular shows will be have podcasts made of their best bits meaning that you can hear the show whenever you ruddy well like so it is important that I get as many ears listening as possible. Partly why I am bringing it up, partly as you will find out more in a sec...

To listen to the show go to http://frequencyradio.co.uk/ at 9pm (GMT) on Saturday and listen in!

-Enter The Sketch Writer-

As well as writing for the stage and the radio I have also started writing for the silver screen, well cotton and man made materials screen. You see as well as joining up with the radio people I have also joined up with the sketch and short film writers branch of my uni's film society and have been writing scripts for sketches to some great responses. So far I've written three one which is based on the unreleased 'Global Warming on ICE II' comic, another which is a 1950's version of the film Terminator and a sketch based on a debate last week in The House Of Commons.

These sketches will be entering production soon.

-The REAL Television Man-

As well as having film, radio and stage covered I have also entered the realm of Television...

Well its student TV which really means Internet TV, which means super low budget sets and production. But fear not my ambition for putting on a show can more than make up for that!

There is very little to discuss here as it has only really just sprung to life in the last 24 hours and well...

The number of people at our meeting was rather low, but from small acorns large coconut trees grow!


As a result of all this writing it means that my funny gland is at constant readiness, which means producing content for stuff like...

Oh say comics will come far far easier, as I will have plenty of material to use for them!

So that sums up nearly everything I've been doing these last few months.

Any questions I'll do as my best to answer.

Thoughts?

Okay so I keep shtum to as not to jinx it and guess what?

Fucking Jinxed!!

I go to collect the keys and the security guy says my name isn't on the list, I go to the station and its closed all the lights are off outside it and the doors are locked too!

Arrrggghh!

Why dose nothing I plan go right!?

Bloody hell! Heads are going to roll over this...

LATER

And so they did, well I wish they did. I contacted the Radio people gave them a diluted taste of my talking venom. They apologized and sent a message to security to inform them that I am on the list. This dose mean however that I should be able to have the first radio edition of British Gump on the First edition of the show.

Alls well that ends well.
