Fall Girl in London

Oh hello!

Did you miss Fall girl by Sitcom Trials winner Rosie Holt at the Gilded Balloon this August?

 The sad, happy, silly, catchy, filthy, fluffy, dark, cringy, yet ultimately uplifting tale of being scammed in the city?

 

 You did miss it?!  And as a result have you felt strangely bereft, as if you are missing some fundamental piece of joy that you didn't realise you truly needed until now?? 

You saw it?!  Yet have you been dying to revisit its bonkers, toe-tapping, tune humming, giggle-making universe just one last time???

YOU ARE IN LUCK! Fall girl is back in London!

Sitcom Trials slight return in Cardiff

The Sitcom Trials made a small return of sorts last night when Bristol Alumni Simon Winkler and Jason Stevens staged a mini-Trials for the guests at Tammy's birthday and graduation party. With the able assistance of actresses Liz Morgan (the voice of Destiny Angel in Captain Scarlet, now you ask) and Pameli Bentham, they performed classic Trials script Man's Best Friend by Roland Moore, to the amusement of a small crowd of family and friends. Because of pressure of time, they didn't actually do the Trials format, but this was a pleasant nostalgic throwback from the team who'd had such fun doing the Trials circa 2005.

As you can see from the photo, fellow Trials graduates The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre also performed. And as you can also also see, the lighting was from LED lights which always photograph in that weird "blue is the new black" way. How does that work?

Best comedy shows in Vegas

One of the best known places in the world to gamble is the city of Las Vegas, Nevada. Here hundreds of casinos are congregated in one place making it quite easy to enjoy gambling in numerous venues while on holiday. Additionally, the Vegas casinos also offer numerous other entertainment options for their guests, a somewhat important addition given that casino games are offered online nowadays at sites like River Belle. One of these includes comedy shows. Many casinos offer their own as part of their overall entertainment package.

Aces of Comedy is one of the best comedy shows. Located at the Mirage Casino, this particular show has won awards over the years. Top tier comedians perform here, many well-known names. For instance, Ron White, Wayne Brady, Kathy Griffin, Jay Leno and Ray Romano are just a few of the performers who have been showcased at the Aces of Comedy.

The Improv at Harrah’s Las Vegas is another place that visitors should go to if they want amusing entertainment. This show has been voted number one year after year. There are two shows every night which makes it easy to fit in some humour around one’s casino gambling time. The first show commences at 8:30 pm and the second at 10:00 pm. Three comedians perform every show and often will stick around after to visit with guests and sign autographs.

A third comedy show to visit while in Las Vegas is Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at the MGM Grand. Headliner Brad Garrett appears here frequently along with guests. Shows last for 90 minutes and begin daily at 8:00 pm. Ticket prices vary and generally are cheaper on the dates that Brad Garrett isn’t scheduled to perform. When Brad is performing, he can often be found at the front door prior to shows greeting his guests. The venue was built specifically for this purpose and is quite new.

Sitcom Trials double bill (of sorts) in Surrey

Stretching The Sitcom Trials connection to the limit (for want of any Trials news as much as anything else) there's what one might call a Sitcom Trials related double bill on in Redhill, Surrey on Friday 24th April. Mark Dolan, presenter of the Sitcom Trials So You Think You Write Funny final in Edinburgh in 2013 is on, along with The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre (who made their universal debut as part of the Shakespearian Sitcom Trials in 2005 and presented the Trials final in London on 2009).

That, sadly, is where the Sitcom Trials link ends, but it's always worth remembering there's life after the Trials. Stay tuned for news of the Trials themselves.

Sitcom Trials Bristol April 2014 - the video(s)

And here, with the blessing of author Rupert Aspden, is the winning sitcom in its entirety:



And I learn, via Simon Wright on the Comedy Forums, that three of the four runners up were developed courtesy of our sister show The Sitcom Mission.  Writers Gwen Cheeseman, Jen Cockburn, Aja Scanlon, Ella Vize (Amen), Joe Brand (Civil Defence) and James (And The Lord Said) Alleyne's scripts were developed through the Sitcom Mission's City Academy workshops.  Congratulations all.

The next Sitcom Trials is... yet to be announced, Watch this space, and Facebook and Twitter, for news.
