Casting call! Looking for a woman voice actor, 50+ who is versatile and a vocal chameleon / can play many different bit parts in an audio comedy.
We’re recording in London on 13th & 14th April. This is a paid opportunity. Actor does not need to be autistic!

Everyone’s Dropbox folders are full to bursting with sitcom scripts & treatments. And it’s harder than ever to get a meeting or a reply to an email. I’m so tired.
Not bothered if Hitler's not in Hell, as long as the people who oversee American payment systems for freelance journalists are there.
The second of my character comedy nights, DON’T BE YOURSELF, lands tomorrow night - and this video should be the push you needed to buy tickets.

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.
Extremely bold new slogan for Charles Tyrwhitt. I like it.
Gobsmacked to see the worst exchange ever in the most recent one:
"You don't see that every day."
"Or ever."
Just booked in my first ever solo show. It's happening.
Interviewed Chalamet's ping-pong coach and argued that he (Chalamet, not the coach) should win an Oscar for his performance.

Caricature.
Caricature.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

A propos of rewatching it the other night: can’t get over Rich Fulcher in Wonka having his ability to ‘speak underwater’ only be relevant for one bit where he pretends to admonish an octopus underwater while on the phone. After about an hour it’s the most audaciously, extravagantly lame pay-off.
I think perhaps it was marketed as near-farce - that was the film I wanted to see and thought I’d paid to see (partly my fault, I suppose). It gestured towards it at times but then got so incredibly bleak and the protagonist completely irredeemable. A crazy mishmash of energies.
Really really disappointing. Didn’t feel like walking out (I’m too cheap) but it felt like a waste of such a delicious premise. Wanted it to go full farce but it was so indecisive about what it wanted to be.
2015, sorry. Even more prophetic.
"I’ve always struggled, particularly as a freelancer, because I don’t really have a patch. I just like weird stuff." Amen.
Proud to say I was writing about how much of a cunt Steven Bartlett is in 2017.

i don’t know why the captions were made so narrow but i’m not re-doing it. here’s some more independently created audio that you can support simply by downloading, for free! or sharing, for free!
the way to counteract this is to support independent art.
i declare an interest: i’ve set up a store where you can buy new scripted comedy before it’s made. the works remain the property of the writers after production; any royalties are split evenly between cast, writer and producers. it’s here:
It's TONIGHT! Join me, @rosieisaholt.bsky.social, Ben Alborough, @joznorris.bsky.social and Jacob Edwards as we unleash an evening's worth of characters on you.

Happy to say this is enough to stop me watching anything else he ever makes!
This took 33 attempts - worth buying a ticket for, surely?

Surely not. Seemed like such a decent guy.
Not enough people these days are promoting their comedy shows by doing kick-ups with lemons.
