Blowing mostly someone else's trumpet

I just heard that RTS-award-winning sitcom Not Going Out is now also Golden Rose of Montreux award-winning sitcom Not Going Out. Ooh. That's a nice big international award for best comedy in the world or something. I only wrote bits of series 1 (as I'm only writing bits of series 2, though a few more bits), but of the 6 episodes I fully co-wrote one (although the credits won't tell you that if you watch it, cos Avalon cocked it up) and I additionally materialised on 5 episodes. So I don't know how much of the Golden Rose I can lay claim to. Not much. Maybe a couple of thorny bits. Or maybe, if it was a box of (Golden) Roses, I'd get the hard hazelnut one in the blue wrapper that no one really likes. But anyway, I'm sure I'll find some way to worm this win onto my cv.

In other news, tonight I did a first - a double-up of two different Edinburgh shows. At 8pm I could be found doing day 1 of my mini-tour of Back To The Futon, 2006's Edinburgh show, in Hemel Hempstead. And at 10:30pm, I could be found doing some work-in-progress for 2007's Edinburgh show, Genesis, at a school fundraiser gig in Sunbury-upon-Thames. The first one was more polished, but I suppose it should be.

Since a few people have asked, I'll cobble together a list of where and when these work-in-progress/preview shows will be, and either email it out to people or generally circulate it round the internet somehow. If anyone's particularly interested, lemme know and I'll convey that info direct.
