Sketch? I know her very well actually.
After joining sketch this year out of desire to become more manic-pixie-girl and esoteric I have cultivated a true love for writing sketches. Even having two of my sketches performed as a new writer, Incel Aloud and (Un)Solved Mysteries. I want to help continue the amazing work done by previous directing legends and help make sketch bigger and better than ever.
I want to help other people write and direct sketches they can be proud of creating and performing, just like I have been helped. But also I believe I can encourage more women to get involved with sketch and make it more diverse, as anyone can be funny with enough work! Performing can be daunting but I truly believe anyone can be convinced to be involved. I've worked as social secretary this year and have the ability to do a role like sketch director in terms of admin and workload.
I'd like to perhaps do more trips to local sketch shows if possible, for inspiration and for fun. I'd also like to help people with their sketches to make them the best they can be. Also encourage more people to join just for the Edinburgh Fringe Lore to tell their kids one day and make them feel rubbish.
If my fellow comrades at the Graters Revolutionary Militia accept me as their sketch director, I promise that not only would I lead with integrity (well, at least when I'm paid to) but with the creativity and general insanity that I've come to expect from this sketch group. Although I've only performed a few times, my appearance as the Cheese Grater Riddler (TM) and my sketch show performances as such enviable figures as Keir Starmer, Terrorist 1 and Frat Bro 1 have had a great response so far. I've also tried to be diligent in helping to edit and alter scripts during meetings and so my work helping the Graters has begun even before the first word is said on stage.
I haven't been here long at UCL but already the Cheese Grater is a society which I'd proudly represent and my consistent attendance at meetings is a measure of that. If you give me the chance, I promise I can help the Graters expand their digital reach more- an especially necessary asset in the build-up to Edinburgh Fringe- and keep the comedy flowing as Sketch Director, at least for as long as I'm elected.
