Giving our blog some love

This might possibly be the worlds most neglected blog ever. We haven't given this poor little sod the love it deserves. It's been so long since we updated it that I daren't look down and read the other entries in fear that I might die of embarrassment at what twats we were (we're cool now, right?)

We are now older and wiser. We're so posh we even have a website and agents now-

www.sketchytheatre.co.uk

www.afamanagement.co.uk

We are also toying around with the idea of changing our name...and not only because of that time a reviewer used our name against us (we still cry violently into our pillows each time we think of that)

We're performing our sketch show 'Going in Dry' as part of the Preston Tringe Festival next week at Korova Arts Cafe 24th- 26th September. We'd love it if people came along, anyone. Oh god, please come.

We have a weekly radio show on Salford city radio, Wednesdays at midnight. It has a listen back feature so no excuses! Even though Me and Dave have to bully Ciaran into listening to it.

Here's our poster for the Preston Tringe next week. It's not rude, it's highly intelligent





Here's a photo of our innocent fresh faces

Pervy Vicars

Just when it seemed I was turning into a blog pro I stopped blogging!

We've recently finished filming a handful of our favourite sketches, the filming was eventful. I was convinced that if each sketch was about 5 minutes long then they'd each take about 20 minutes to film....no, no, no. I was very wrong. We've just finished editing the pervy Vicar one, it's taken all day! This technology lark takes longer than I thought. Just another 8 to go!

Some of our sketches will be performed in Cofilmics Sketch In The City at the end of this month. We're looking forward to seeing how other people will perform our sketches. We'll try not to shout 'You're doing it all wrong!'

We've started writing our next show, Job Seekers. It will be performed at the lovely 3 Minute Theatre on the 15th of August. Luckily our obsession of fat kid documentaries is kind of over so we can concentrate on writing the show.

Have a cheeky little look of The Vicar sketch video....

Now that 'love Factually' is done and dusted for now, it's time to start thinking about our next show. This one wont/cant be a rude one! I'm all ruded out (that IS a word)

This sunday, the 11th we're performing as part of the 3 Minute Theatre variety show, come along if you have chance. It starts at 8 and should be a nice relaxed evening of comedy and music.

We're also trying to put together a 'Best of Sketchy Theatre' show so let us know your favourite sketches.

Tonight's show went a million times better than we ever could have hoped! This was a good day for Sketchy Theatre! After the disastrous week we'd had we really thought tonight would be a shambles but with the help of Gina and John at 3 Minute Theatre we pulled it off!

Keeping the running order in my bra seemed to work a treat ;)

We're performing the same show at Sandbar on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th at 7 so try catching usthen  if you  missed tonights show.

Thank you so much for everyone's support tonight, we really appreciate it. Bring on the next show!

The count down is on

Its not long till our Valentines' special at The 3 Minute Theatre....Friday 17th at 8, tickets just £4/3

Ive been laughing so much in rehearsals that Ive actually injured my chest...we're that funny!

Dont take my word for it...come along and decide for yourselves. (tricked you all into coming...hopefully)

3 Minute Theatre is a lovely venue. Friendly and cosy. The bar will be open from about 7.30 so come along and make a night of it.

I dont know why I uploaded this photo...to be honest I still dont understand this blog.

Procrastinating (Think that's how it's spelt??)

We really will do anything to avoid writing our last sketch...

We ended up watching documentaries about fat kids doing rock climbing, fat kids in beauty pageants and fat kids...general being fat. What is our problem with writng the final sketch? Maybe we're not meant to have another one, who knows. All we do know is that we need to stop watch fat kids on telly. Sky has 100s of channels, the choice is endless.

We also did this instead of writng the final dreaded sketch. We're sick, sick people

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I love you
Please dont leave me!

Come along to 'Love Factually' at The 3 Minute Theatre, Afflecks arcade, Oldham entrance, Manchester

Im sure you cant resist a night of awkward dates, pervy vicars and marriages falling apart. There must be a better side to love? Either way, all your relationships will seem perfect in comparison!
