A night of scriptwriting for comedy legends. We were lucky enough to have amongst us some comedy gold. A rich vein of talent, seen by so few, Roy Dixon; a friend of one of the meetings stalwarts, Keith, came along to give us a talk on his life as a scriptwriter for comedic legends such as Ken Dodd.
Roy's early years working in local newspapers and then the move into commercial script writing gave us an insight into the life of both comedian and their back room boys, grafting away at the typewriter or scribbling on fag packets to get a laugh for the guy out front.
Working at short notice, sometimes minutes from deadline, a very entertaining evening with many questions asked by the floor. Thanks Roy
