Hi Audiman, another good collecton, apart from the first, which didn't work for me. I liked the Nintendo and the Pointing best. Megan made me groan (but not in a bad way) - did you nick that from Tommy Cooper?

Audiman, I loved the first one, it made me spit by accident. These feel quite Paul Merton-ish, in the sense that I can imagine them working aloud, but no stand-up, something more subtle. Any plans for them? They're like a written down version of Smack The Pony sketches in some ways. I know you want to publish a collection- I think we should start an Audiville cult here on WW and make word-of-mouth work for you, these are so surreal and hilarious.

Thanks, Anna. I'm not sure they're publishable over here. The humour is not very British. I'd probably be aiming at the US market (ever seen Woody Allen's written work? The first time I read Without Feathers I laughed so much I thought I'd haemorrhaged). Any thoughts?

Audiman, I think on the contrary they do tap into a very British, sideswipe-ish, sardonic vein of humour- but sketches and screen/radio/stage rather than print, I agree about that... racking my brains to try and think of how/who might be appropriate for this work. I think the problem with British publishers would be more about format- how to sell/market such short pieces even in a collection. Hmm.. but enormously enjoying reading them.

I'm still giggling at the helicopter game.

I think I'm a sort of Plasticky Allen.
