Yes! My short play MR BRIGHT SIDE was named First-Place Winner of ThinkingFunny.com’s Radio Playscript contest last week, at the climax of its popular Humour Writing Conference, which was held online on Saturday 1st April 2023. My thanks to the brilliant judges - Jim Dowling, Joe Graceffo and Jim Strope - for this wonderful recognition (you can learn more about the judges here). I’m truly grateful, not to mention delighted! Congratulations to everyone who entered this year’s comedy writing contests, and to all the writers engaged in this diverse community of talent.
ThinkingFunny.com is a vibrant humour and comedy writing community, founded by author, educator and humorist Robb Lightfoot. Its annual Humour Writing Conference offers expert-led sessions - spanning all aspects of comedy writing - via an all-day online live stream. This year's sessions included expert advice from columnists, publishers, stand-up comics, songwriters, newbie writers, and professional agents looking for new talent.
And that’s not all…
Round Mountain California’s KKRN Radio, under the sound (in both senses) direction of playwright, director and actor Jim Dowling, has recorded my play for broadcast on its Scratched-Up Radio Theater show. You can listen to the performance here, which will air at 8pm PST on KKRN 88.5 FM.
Thanks to all for allowing me to be a part of this really unique and rewarding experience!
