sitcom'a'gogo

up early to work on the script. it's okay but can't say i laughed much. if i'm honest i should have done more character work but bottom line if i'm not right as i am then no big deal.

went along. nice bunch - scarily young. that did explain the script though which thinks it's a little more shocking and radical than it actually is.

read for the part of news anchor. did okay but i'm basically not right for the part. they're looking for a public school fop & i certainly ain't that.

all that said a good bit of comedy did emerge from the reading and it's a reasonable start if we were to workshop it.

also read for a number of supporting roles which i'd prefer. they went very well so who knows. would do it if offerred but not particularly fussed if not.

s'got me thinking though. the one thing that's got these guys off the ground and making their own pilot is their self-belief and action. good luck to them.

coming round to resurecting the stand-up. will have to completely re-write the old set as it is now technically illegal. happy to do so - it was of its time anyway, what was formerly ironic now comes across as hateful.

i work best collaboratively. can i fake that? i'll try writing situations & thoughts as prose. when these are re-visited i can then treat them as stimulus. additionally, i do have a couple of folk i'd love to work with but i'd want to take them the bones of an idea to give them something to work with. a tv pilot is ambitious. i'm quite attracted to including a sketch section in my stand-up - perhaps using chums as plants in audience or perhaps developing a skecth show/section - this could then develop into a radio/broadcast option - wouldn't want to be completely dependent on others though - that wa lies madness. anyway, lots to be getting on with.

right that's it. knackered. went to gym after audition & did 10km run plus workout. all good.
