We had our press preview for the show today. I think it went well - a certain amount of laughter was forthcoming from our reviewers, which was encouraging at least. I will put up a link to any reviews, good or bad, when they are available. Hopefully we picked four sketches that gave a good overview of what the show is about, without giving away the bits we are most proud of.

The Cherwell did mention us briefly in their preview of the term. I don't want to make too big a deal of our aim to write a show without sex, swearing or "edgy", controversial material (although the author of this piece thought it were worth noting) because it isn't the reason to come, or a particular gimmick of the show; it's just our style (possibly mine more so than Andy's, though he has of course been willing). I think that makes our show a bit different, but I wouldn't want it to be a major talking point - it would be a rather tragic reflection on all comedy if it were.

My goal is to always be original. For a 75 minute show, that is impossible - we never copy a line, but some jokes or set-ups will always have elements of similarity to other material. Some formulas are classic, and they work, and any good comedian should know how to use them. It's what you do with the rest of the time that is the difference between being solid and exceptional. We may not entirely make it on the first go, but I have no doubt we will in time.
