For One Day Only

It is the week of Leicester Comedy Festival and I'm entering into the spirit of things by leading a workshop on short comedy films. So... for one day only, here is a list of links we are going to be following in the workshop. If you happen to drop in, why not follow some of them and see what you think. Some are classics. At least one is not. You make up your own mind.

But be quick about it, because I plan to take this posting down after the workshop is over.

Have fun.
