More from Revels

To go along with yesterday's post, I am including today some other bits and pieces that came about as a result of the Revels Student Comedy Awards.

In addition to the videos that were posted here, there are also audio podcasts. These have been provided by The Sun online and can be found here. They are basically a highlights clip of each show, probably about 30 secs of each act and are well worth a listen!

As well as this, there have been a couple of articles written - one from the Edinburgh Guide and one from The Scotsman. The Scotsman article really doesn't say much about me, more just about the PR side of sponsoring companies... as Chris so helpfully pointed out in his blog.

Today's entry isn't very entertaining from a writing perspective (though the links are good), so I'll add a photo from the night of the competition. It's of myself , Raymond Mearns (compere), Steve Bennett (chortle.co.uk) and Kevin Bridges (headliner).

Extra News: 'Steve & Dave' may be making a return to this blog soon - so check back in the coming days!

Revels Student Comedy Awards with Chortle.co.uk

A few weeks ago, I won the Scottish Heat in the "Revels Student Comedy Awards with Chortle.co.uk".

It was a really good gig, with some very good acts on the bill, but fortunately I managed to come out on top and secure my place in the final.

The final is in August, during the Fringe and there is a £2,500 prize plus a trip to Montreal for the winner - so I'll be writing like hell to try and get together the best set possible. I will probably use this blog as a grounds to test out some ideas, so please let me know what you think of the posts from day to day.

As part of the competition, all the heats were filmed and posted on the Revels Student Comedy Awards site. You can have a look at all the acts and vote for who you think should get the "punter's choice" place in the final for best runner-up. There are some excellent acts that didn't make it through on their night - so it's definitely worth checking out.

In the meantime, here is a short clip from near the beginning of my performance - I hope you enjoy...

Revels Student Comedy Awards with Chortle

Last week, I took part in the Revels Student Comedy Awards with Chorte.co.uk. It was a really good night and a really good show - so thanks to Revels and Chortle for putting it together!

I managed to win the heat and the video is posted on the Chortle microsite (as well as here!)



You can go on to Chortle and watch clips from all the heats. The "best runner up" in the form of a public vote then also gets through as well.

They have just announced the winner of the final, in addition to the £2,500 cash prize will also get a trip to Canada with a chance at another CA$25,000. So looks like I'll be busy writing as much as I can before the final in August...

...But not today, I'm rushing out the door to go to Dundee for the United v Motherwell game...Shed Rule!!
