Major Energy Vortex

We started late because we got engrossed in a discussion about how pressure placed on a specific acupuncture point on the soul of a foot can immediately stop a woman in the throes of labour from killing everyone in the room (brilliantly, it's all part of something about a "major energy vortex").

Don't try this at home, kids

And there was a further delay as Naomi recorded some (perfect) German dialogue as a guide to a thing to a thing I'm doing for a thing.  And even further delays as we mused on ways to have characters disembowelled on stage.

Then we started, and we raced through lots of things, powering through this really funny script, and we laughed a lot.  We got stuck on a bit about a glass of water, but then we had loads of ideas and there was a lot more laughter.

Naomi stayed sober.  I had a beer.  It was delightfully warm and the Bristol night felt welcoming and creative.  But that was probably the beer.

Animal impersonations and Spanish Waiters

We met this evening to begin writing our new comedy play, which we're hoping to get on stage in late October/early November, possibly in Bath, where people have more money, and voted to stay in the EU probably because they're really into the Nordic noir thriller Forbrydelsen.

We started by talking about starting. Then we talked some more. Then we talked about how some stand up comics start their routines, and this led to Naomi talking about how she started her stand up by impersonating animals. We talked some more about starting. Then we started.

We have a good idea for our new play, and we made a good start with the writing, and we did some atrocious impersonations of Manuel from Fawlty Towers.  And we stayed sober.
