Roses are red
Violets are blue

Does Valentines day mean 'dirty' day or lovey dovey day?

Almost everything for 'Love Factually' has been scripted now...exciting stuff. Time to learn it all now and inject some Sketchy Theatre-ness to it. I dont know why but before a show I'm always convinced I wont remember the lines. I'll watch a play think 'Oh my god, Im so impressed. I could never learn that many lines' even though I do it all the time! This show will be different, no line learning doubts.

Me and Beau bashed out three sketches this afternoon, all pervy. After this we promise to never write dirty, creepy things again. The boys keep reassuring me that because its a Valentines special that we can never be too dirty. Im unsure!

 (even the word 'bashed' seems filthy after weeks of writng this show)

Remember, keep the 17th of feb free!

Why buy flowers when rohypnol is so cheap?

For more charming chat up lines then come to our Valentines' show... 'Love Factually' on Friday, 17th Feb at The 3 Minute Theatre, Afflecks Palace, Manchester. (I know its not for a while yet but we're gagging for a big audience!)

We've also just set up a facebook page...give us a 'like' if you, like.

Writing this blog kind of makes me feel like an American teenager.

We're begining to properly script the sketches for 'Love Factually' our Valentine's special. So far everythings way too perverted. We need to focus on the nicer things about romance...flowers, soppy songs, declarations of love. Instead we seem to have opted for subliminally dirty vicars, a gruff Yorkshireman who sells the most innapropriately disturbing cards you will ever read and drunk women crying about exes on dates. What is wrong with us?!

To conteract this we need to watch a lot of chick flicks...or anything with Julia Roberts and a stuttering English man
