We first met in a corridor on a cold January evening which we spent hanging out with a man from Hong Kong in a white jumpsuit. We took our first show to Edinburgh in 2007 and are currently writing a better one for Edinburgh 2008. We have now been joined in our efforts by superdirector Richard Hurst (Bill Hicks: Slight Return, Potted Potter, Miranda Hart) who tells us to be funnier and with whom we have excellent lunches.

PS bring back the torches!
Crumbs, we have a page - it's all proper and everything. This show is going to be ace, definitely. BTW since I came home, my Dad has barely been in as he has been dressing up as Father Christmas and waving at people outside the Co-op in the aid of charity. Mum and I blanked him in order to convince people it was the real F.C. and not a short Essex man who looks a bit like Bob Dylan in a £9.99 fake beard. Clever, eh. Plus we got to ignore my Dad.
Right, I have finish writing a thing before Nanny Dean gets here and I am forced to drink booze and explain my lack of husband/proper job to her. SD xxx
