Ten years ago today, I asked my childhood sweetheart, my best friend and the most beautiful woman in the world to marry me. All three said “no”.

'Fackham Hall' disappeared in theaters — but @jimmycarr has made the best gag-heavy spoof in decades. Think Airplane! meets Downton Abbey. https://t.co/5PemnGp9zN #FackhamHall #MovieReview #Comedy

This. We should wish SNL UK nothing but the best, and want it to succeed - we could find our next big things, our next big exports, and moments that delight and unite. GOOD LUCK!

I can’t stress this enough, as they say on the internet.
I’ve worked in telly comedy for almost 30 years of my life. A VETERAN.
There is nothing harder, in the telly game, than getting a new comedy show off the ground.
The reaction to a snippet of that new show, or a promo for it, is almost always wildly negative. Comedy always begins from a position of fighting up out of a trench into a hostile no-man’s-land. Bombs of “THIS WILL BE SHIT” landing all around you.
How often have you heard about a drama show - “It gets great five episodes in.”
When have you ever heard anyone EVER say that about comedy? You get one episode AT BEST. Usually, you get about ten minutes. Sometimes one look at your face is enough for people.
Basically, what I’m saying is - give telly comedy a chance! Don’t go in, all arms folded and grumpy. Most shows you see on TV are people reading off teleprompters and actors turning up to recite memorised lines. These comedy performers and writers will have been working like fuck to make you laugh. There is no harder working room in telly than that comedy room.
So PLEASE. Relax, be open, and give this and ANY OTHER NEW COMEDY a chance. It is only here to try to make you smile.
Clip here is fun. Godspeed to all involved!

(This thread is the short version of an article I wrote for @BritishComedy about the importance of sketch for comedy ecosystem

[Andrew Dawson @ADawsonBros]

This weekend sees the biggest British sketch show launch in years. If you love comedy, I urge you get behind SNL UK from the very start.
In the last decade, with so little sketch comedy on TV, a generation of performers and writers have been denied their TV break.

[Andrew Dawson @ADawsonBros]

SNL UK has a chance of reviving the British sketch show - which is hugely important for everyone who loves comedy. So best of luck to the SNL UK team!
