Yes, that is me trying to look serious or meaningful or enigmatic or anything that indicates a fierce intelligence at work (or indeed at home). And the BSG encourages an accompanying pic, so what choice is there but to comply? No facial muscles WHATSOEVER were hurt during the posing of this jpeg and the finger was deployed simply to plug any leaks...sorry, what was I saying? The recognisably good stuff that stands the test of time (LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN, MOST OF COOGAN'S OUTPUT, LEAD BALLOON, FRASIER, DAD'S ARMY, to name but a few) is what inspires me to put finger to keyboard...resulting in...

I am about to commence on the first draft of my first ever sitcom script. I have a wide range of comedic influences, from the razor-sharp wit of Blackadder to the rapid fire gags of Not Going Out. I have previously written humorous fiction (published online only) and wanted to try my hand at sitcom writing. Griff Phillips

Writer
I'm a comedy writer based just outside Reading. I've written lots of stage comedy over the last couple of years for "NewsRevue", "The Treason Show", and one-off shows like "Comedy Pit". My sketches have featured in the "best of" shows for both News and Treason, and were taken to Edinburgh and Berlin respectively by the two shows, and my NewsRevue sketches were singled out in many of the reviews for praise. More recently I got my first broadcast credit with BBC7's "Tilt" and as a result I am now working on sketches for other BBC radio shows. My sitcoms "Art For Art's Sake" and... Keith Rees

Hey, I'm Chris. I mostly write sketches (Check the critique forum or contact me if you want to see some examples), but I am also working on some stand-up at the moment. I also have a sitcom in the works, first draft is complete and now I am just refining it to get it just right. I am currently in college and planning on going to university next year. I've been writing for almost 6 months now. I have had a fair few sketches in the NewsRevue topical stage show. I would love to get involved in any project really. Bye! Lee Amott

It's true I'm pushing seventy, but it's not fair to say that I'm still finding my feet because I've actually located half of them at the end of my left leg so I'm 50% of the way there already. I think my latest draught will help me too because the label on it says, "Guiness is good for you." As for my first draft, the feedback I received helped me a lot... I was advised to stick draft excluding foam around the door. If I get the time I'll write a cook book called, 'Don't peel onions under water.' It will be honed from a true life experience... I nearly drowned while trying... Paul Hennell

At the moment I'm concentrating on sketches. I'm a member of the writing teams for both Treason Show in Brighton and Newsrevue in London, and have had numerous sketches and gags performed there. I've also had sketches performed in Newsrevue's 2007 and 2008 Edinburgh Festival shows ("witty and hugely impressive" Chortle)and its Christmas 2007 Best of Year run. I was shortlisted in the 2007 Channel 4 Gags to Go competition. Like most comedy writers I'd like to do a sitcom, but I need to write the perfect sketch first. I may be some time. The Slagg Brothers

You're looking for an amusing writer of sketches (dozens), sitcoms (one so far, but it's early days) or stand-up material. I'm a late bloomer in a hurry. We could make beautiful comedy together. Also, I'm a cheap date. Ed Campbell aka "Bohannon"

I'm Ed Campbell and I've been writing comedy bits and pieces for a couple of years now.

I've also written material for Will and Greg's Channel 4 pilot. U'm still trying to make a dent in the seemingly impenetrable wall that surrounds television comedy but they haven't beat me yet! I've never written with a partner but I'd be kind of interested in giving it a go and seeing what comes of it. To describe my humour I guess... Mikey J

My first script was a Sci-fi sitcom pilot which I co-wrote with a writing partner. We also wrote a full second episode. We had some early interest from a few productions companies. At present I am working on a few solo projects and I'm currently outlining two new sitcom ideas. I am a big horror and sci-fi fan and these aspects tend to influence my work. My favourite sitcoms include: The Young Ones, Bottom, Fawlty Towers, Yes Minister, Reggie Perrin, Red Dwarf, AbFab, Some Mothers Do 'Ave Em and I'm Alan Partridge. James Currie

I have a long history of writing and performing comedy which started at a young age. However, i am just starting to take it more seriously and have recently finished my second full script and am looking to start on my next three or four ideas in the coming months.
