Dear Simon Pegg,
Thank you for your reply. I was the guy asking about getting into comedy. Thanks for all the tips. I guess you must get thousands of 'wanna bes' writing to you...and I guess I'm one of them (sorry)! A friend and I have been perfecting our stand up dio act, ready to start preforming in Brighton and all over in a few weeks. One question...how do you stop filling your pants before you go on stage? I've done stand up before...and the experience does'nt get any easier. Were you nervous at first?
Is there any possible way you could look over any of our ideas/gags. I know you must dread people saying this to you. Just like people stopping you in the street and saying...'go on say it...say come get some' (I'm a big Evil Dead fan as well). I promise you I'm no crazy. My room isn't decorated in thousands of tiny pictures of you, taken via a telescopic lense...no actually I'm just a trying comic...who badly needs a mentor. If I could send you anything, or if you could recommend a venue for us to try out, that maybe you'll be able to make...well who knows. You may see us and think... 'Hell, those crazy guys remind me of me about seven years, I know I'll give them a few pointers, brighten up their horizons'. Failing that you may think we are about as funny as reading 'Anna Frank's Diary', in which case you could always slip out the back door like the littlest Hobo escaping another demand family at the end of a wonderful adventure...sorry I'm slipping into the surreal at a vien attempt to impress.
Thank you once again.
Good luck with everything in the future,
And congrats on being so damn funny.
Yours sincerely,
Alex Whitwell.
P.S. Anyone else reading this must be convinced I'm one sad creep....and I'm affraid I have to agree. I apologies for my kind.
