Hi I'm Dan
Always been interested in writing and found an evening comedy sketch writing course/group running in Richmond. It lasted all year and we wrote sketches and sitcoms and had them acted out by a college's drama groups. I wrote five sketches (people laughed) for a half-hour sketch show, 10 minutes of an existing sitcom -- One Foot In The Grave -- (people laughed) and finally a pilot of an original sitcom (people laughed, and me(!) despite the fact that after 200 read throughs/rewrites I didn't think it was funny any more!)
I've entered sketches for opportunities (Parsons & Naylor's Pullout Sections, Bearded Ladies, Sketch factor etc) but only had a polite rejection for the last one -- the others ignored me!
Currently co-developing the sitcom that was mentioned earlier. Four episodes drafted and/or written. Another episode planned but not written. It will most likely be acted out by the two writers and podcast... eventually!
Recently had a little more success. One of my sketches was broadcast on BBC7's 'Play & Record', two recorded for Angel Eye Media's 'Grrr' broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland in April 2008 and one for 'Tilt' (BBC7) the same month.
Also working on a TV sitcom pilot that is coming along (very) slowly.
