A lovely surprise to see my newsletter place in the top Rising Culture publications on Substack this weekend! Thanks to everyone for reading and sharing, I really appreciate it!
This week in the newsletter - I’m posting the prologue to the murder mystery novel I’ve been writing over the summer, which I’ll be serialising in the newsletter over the next year or so as it develops! Hope you all enjoy it.
Episode 82 is fresh out the box with special guest, JOZ NORRIS (@joznorris.bsky.social)!
In the first in-person interview of S6, Alex spoke to Joz about being silly, choreographing chaos, and doing Edinburgh Fringe every year. Apologies for the fan in the background (and we don't mean a groupie).
All rise! It's my Presidential guests for Crowley Time Live at the @cheerfulearful.bsky.social Podcast Festival next month! The political thriller of the century will be brought to life by @natashahodgson.bsky.social and @joznorris.bsky.social! Tickets and info at live.crowleytime.com.
This week in the newsletter - some thoughts on why scripted comedy thrives on multiple comedic perspectives, and why we need to be careful about making scripted comedy for TV that mimics what works online.
Loose in a roll, presumably?
Thank you so much! Loved your piece on SNL, so interesting xx
This is mental. And good. Like the good sort of mental. Recommended.
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS HUGH
After sold out work-in-progress runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre this summer, Jackman/Phantom comes to Pleasance London for 3 nights this Christmas! It's the perfect deranged festive night out!
A bold new vision for Doctor Who:
So sorry for the slow reply! I'm so glad you enjoyed the show, and it's so nice of you to come all this way for it! Hope you had an amazing trip and enjoyed what you saw! xx
I imagine it'll get released as bonus DLC, surely
Any other week I would be deeply offended by your cruel suggestion that I'd make a terrible PT and try to prove you wrong, except this week I tried to do a pullup and hurt my arm so badly that I have been unable to straighten it all week, so I think you might be bang on.
Very excited to announce the first tranche (great word) of filmmakers & writers for our next Eggbox is in November! We've got weird animation, delightful short films, musical extravaganzas, exclusives, premieres and live readings of brand new scripts from this lot!
This week - some thoughts on what I’ve learned from directing comedy shows and what I like to focus on when I do it, via Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner.
Anyone booking for any nice gigs from September onwards? My new show just sold out a bunch of WIPs at the Fringe and Soho Theatre and I'm keen to keep finding new audiences to road test bits of it in front of! Hit me up if you might have any space for me!
