I was invited onto the Roy Noble show on Radio Wales yesterday and have learnt that radio people are lovely. Here’s the link to the show – I come on 2.04.05 mins in!
I’m shooting a new short film in February and it all revolves around this hardworking fella called Mr Dog:
Who has won the hearts of the local residents of Canton, Cardiff. I shot the video a week ago and people are now making pilgrimages to Canton just to throw the ball to him! It’s incredible. I’ve given him access to a twitter account here:
@mrdogcanton
Where he’s enjoying being thrown a virtual ball. And on Facebook here:
It’s a New Year and I have now graduated from the industry-lead Cyfle course and am now a fully qualified Transmedia Writer (with Merit *coughs modestly*).
So it’s official. I am a multimedia scriptwriter who has trained with the following companies:
We putting together a horror ARG over Halloween for the International StoryWorld Expo. The only problem is that it’s in San Francisco! All the biggest movers and shakers in the industry will be there, so it’s a good chance to impress. We’ll also be representing Wales, if we can make it. All money will be going into the App and ARG to make it a better experience, not flights. You can help us out here:
And yes, that is me gurning away as one of the lost souls. x
Along with the Cyfle posse I’ve been working with Justine Potter at Savvy Productions to create an online presence for the upcoming BBC Radio 4 drama A Shoebox of Snow starring Richard Briers.
You can find the result here at the WordPress site created for this project:
I’ve been working on a strategy to encourage people to upload their memories that turn ordinary objects (e.g. a pen) into something special (e.g. a pen that was used to write a novel). It’s been a big success, getting media attention and a significant number of uploads.
Please upload your own stories for people to discover!
Sadly not used in the program, but dug up in honour of Wayne’s happy news.

With the father, the grandfather and the great grandfather of the prostitute that Wayne Rooney allegedly slept with selling their stories to other networks, here on Newsstand we have an exclusive interview with her great great grandfather. Currently speaking to the ‘Other Side’, we go live to Anna Fahooom, the News Stand medium.

Chilean officials hope to rescue the trapped miners by this weekend.

‘Chaos @ the Glee Club’ the new SNL-style topical comedy show is filming this Wednesday (6th Oct) and you can get your free tickets to be in the audience here:
I’ve written some of the sketches, and will include in the next post all the topical one-liners I’ve scribbled down over the last two weeks for the show. So if you can’t make it, or miss it on tv, you can still enjoy a little of the chaos.
I can’t believe it. It’s a massive honour to be associated with something that was set up in the memory of one of the greatest British producers (five Oscars!) and to have my script chosen by the panel a who’s who of industry greats.
I’m not even sure ‘woohoo’ does it justice. I’ll come back when I’ve calmed down.
A DJ thinks about decks… a chiropractor thinks about necks… a Slovakian thinks about Czechs… a weightlifter thinks about pecs… an optometrist thinks about specs… a hiker thinks about treks… a diver thinks about shipwrecks… a cyclist thinks about spandex… a person in the ‘there’s no toilet roll left in the dispenser, but I might have something in my bag’ situation thinks about Kleenex… a Russian thinks about Kopeks… a Southern American thinks about Tex-Mex… an entomologist thinks about insects… and I think of you.
I put some Christmas spices into a mug of tea and left it to do the washing up. When I came back, all the dishes were still dirty. I phoned up my girlfriend and said, “You’re right, men aren’t any good at mulled-tea tasking”.
This blog was a promotional tool. I’m not ashamed of this, it was always meant to be a virtual calling card – “you can’t have a website without a blog!” they shouted in my face while pounding my buttocks with a scotch egg, and they were right. They were right about everything; the scotch egg, the pounding and the blog. So here it was, created with the odd funny link and the occasional updates to my gigs. Promotional, unoriginal and purely functional.
But that’s now changing. On Monday, I discovered via Google Analytics I had 20 viewers. 20! This has turned from a fun promotional tool to a public site ladened with responsibility.
Well, you’ll be glad to hear I intend to step up and fulfil my duty of entertaining my audience of 20, by writing one original joke a day on the blog. Weekdays only (to keep weekends free). The gig updates will remain. In case you want to come.
To kick it all off, here’s today’s joke:
“My Great Grandfather had one tune, my Grandfather had two tunes, my father had three tunes, and when I was born I was heir to the family four tune.”
I’m off to lick a pensioner. Come back tomorrow for another.
Drones rocked as always – and even better I went down well – luckily as they have a very high standard there. Check out the video @ the ‘videos’ part of the website!
Yes – it’s true, our new ‘Open Mic’ comedy night here in Cardiff will be going live on the 19th of October in the truly awesome venue that is Koko Gorillaz. Seriously, a fantastic venue, I couldn’t believe our luck. A raised stage at the end that is the perfect size for a standup looks out over rows and rows of tables waiting to be filled with people wanting to laugh at the funny man or woman with the microphone. And that funny man or woman could be You. Just drop me a line using the contact details in the ‘About Me’ section of this website if you would like a 5 – 10 minute slot.
