What's happening here. I'm answering in two different places on here. What's all that about?
Where's the staff when you need 'em!

We all have to start somewhere. If you need help using the forum, feel free to ask. It's fairly easy to get used to. Bobby Razzle's figured it out and he's nearly 70!

Some of us on here have wrote the odd sketch or two. But they are copyright to the writer! This forum's here to have a laugh on, and to dicuss comedy shows etc... If you read through some of it, you might find 'comedy gold' in here somewhere! We still haven't found it though!

Best bit of advice - just write what you like, but make sure to let other people read it and not just friends who will be biased. Post on a few forums too to get opinions and advice on what you've done so far. Just so you know, this 'advice' here from me - I got an "A Level Equivalent" in Creative writing and came top of my college with a very high pass mark... so you could say that I'm qualified to speak on this! ;D Also - check this link. www.ukauthors.com/Hope that helps.

On a forum, there's no guarantee it won't be pinched. Your safest thing to do on here is make sure you only post it in the member's area. That way, only registered members will be able to read it. The rest of Planet Comedy is visible to everyone. Or you could send it via a Private message to a staff member, and we can give you feedback that way.
