Slapstick festival photo with Bill & Graeme

Thanks to Slapstick 2012 (http://www.slapstick.org.uk/) for this photo and caption:

"Graeme and Bill with their fellow Slapstick 2012 guests – back row: Neil Innes, the Python’s music-maker; Chris Serle and Dad’s Army veteran Ian ‘Stupid Boy’ Lavender; front row, Paul McGann, left, with Barry Cryer, far right? Not sure what they’re shushing. Maybe Tim’s whereabouts or what each will choose as a favourite from the 17 events events in this year’s festival programme."

Slapstick 2012 events starting to sell out

We've gotten word that many of the Slapstick 2012 events have either sold out or are close to selling out. As of a few hours ago there were still tickets to the events featuring one or two of The Goodies, but if you're planning to attend it may be wise to book before it is too late (the festival Events page, http://www.slapstick.org.uk/events.htm, has the complete schedule and booking info).

As a reminder, Slapstick 2012 is being held in Bristol, England from this Thursday to Sunday (January 26-30).

audience tickets for Australian "Unbelievable Truth" recordings

Graeme will be heading to Australia in February to work on a TV version of "The Unbelievable Truth" (the BBC Radio 4 comedy panel show produced by his company, Random Entertainment). I asked Graeme if audience tickets would be available for the recordings. Here is his reply:

When we get the final green light (soon) the planned recording dates are Feb 7, 8, 9; 15 16 17; 21,22,23,24, and my recording will be on the 9th.

re Tickets, the producer replied to me:

"They should email audience@giantdwarf.com.au with a request for audience tickets. If they mention they're Goodies fans we'll make sure they get well treated..."

Hope to see some friendly faces there!

Graeme

The recordings will take place at Seven's building, Media City, 8 Central Avenue, Eveleigh (near Sydney).
