Fas Fall X.7 - silence

I go away for one week and phooey: no fas. Next time, amigos, next time.

Fas Fall X.6 - comedy (or 'jizz tartlet')

Comedy at the RFH.

Attendees: FB, IE, CW, JW, RG, AS

Read: Sunday Football (JW sketches); Teddy Bear (RG monologue); An Eulogy (IE monologue).

The themed sessions are always pretty cool, because we get a bit more focused than with the disparate range of material a standard session might throw up. 

We talked comedy. Big big comedy. Suggestions for Sunday Football, which has been through the mill once before, included short character bios, a more firm decision on format (radio/tv/stage) and then we kinda chopped up and spat out mosta the jokes. As is our wont. Perhaps Colin's East-End barrowman voice for John (struggling with character names here...but I think so) and Ian's rather more simpering portrayal of the coach added to the humour, but it was also kinda... weird. And we ended up talking a lot about cupcakes.

Then we munched through two monologues, Becca's and Ian's. We were baffled why the footlights might have not taken Ian after his sparkling reading of a rather horrid eulogy, while Becca's teddy bear started East-End and wound up Pacino/Brando godfather-y. As one does. At least it gave her options, right?

Next meeting Dec 1st I believe.

Keep cool.
