The last two weeks were “write 65% of the sketch, then get gobsmacked with something urgent, wake-up Saturday and think ‘aw crap, I didn’t finish the sketch’”".

Hi-dey ho, sketch-a-rinos!

Sorry for the absence – last week was a rehearsal / performance filled blur, and this week started off the same way.

But neither wind nor sleet nor lack of sleep can keep me from my appointed rounds.

I’m going to try something different this week too….instead of a single sketch, I’m going to do a runner – a series of short sketches that would be placed intermittently through a review that, hopefully, in the end add up to something more.
