Fascinating article by Stewart Lee that could practically be a ConstantComedy.com Manifesto:
Edinburgh Festival Fringe: The greatest comedy event in the world

Hey Jett, I read the article that you think could be a manifesto for CC. I think your right, hopefully it will succeed in allowing a free international home for exposing and exploring comedy. I'm gonna take the plunge and post a sketch or two myself soon. I like the work you've done for it too, lots of interesting and funny people you've found to do it. I'm maybe gonna seek out a couple of people in Leeds as well, especially I know a comedy musician who I would like to get up there, stick up for the comedy music side of things. Anyway, I'll probably see ya around some time, always do eventually. Sam

Hey Sam - look forward to your vids.
+ Yes, I can't wait to see what happens w/ccc when people discover it and start uploading material - what are people gonna like = mainstream observational? character comedy like the boosh? or something totally different + i wonder how real the whole 'long-tail' thing is and if we'll be able to effectively find the undiscovered 'nuggets 'o comedy gold' and bring them to people's attention.

Hey there Erin - yes having fun with the camera but it seems that I thought I was getting good at taking pics but the Lumix, I was using was doing a lot of the work - so of course now most of my photos are terrible - getting better though.
