I went back to school with Micheal Jacob's Comedy College this week, dropping in on Susan Nickson's session. She discussed Two Pints of Lager, Grown Ups, her huge ego, stalkers, cancelling her own series, and the sheer terror of getting into comedy at the tender age of 14. They are also meeting the brilliant Hugo Blick (Marion & Geoff) and Paul Mendelson (My Hero), as well as workshopping their own scripts.
The students are a bright bunch, two of whom we have worked with before here at writersroom - Leah Chillery went from unsolicited to radio drama commissions and an Eastenders shadow scheme, while Andrew Viner was one of the original Sports Shorts winners a few years ago. So nice to see some familiar people there - but also great to see some very new faces too.
