Thanks for downloading information about our comedy contest. R
FRINGE PUBLISHING and WRDJ in Dothan, Alabama is producing a 30
and 60 minute comedy feature (yet unnamed!). THIS RADIO, AUDIO
only extravaganza will be syndicated nationally beginning this
summer. Here's our thinking-- with so much bad news about, a
regular dose of laughs will help. Our primary audience will be
EDUCATED, IN BUSINESS or ACADEMIA, and likely to read:

New York Times; Entrepreneur; Barrons; Wall Street Journal;
Calvin & Hobbs Books; The script of Monty Python ik den Holie
Graile; The Far Side (a trademark of some large multi-national
corporation) and sometimes: Penthouse or Playgirl (particularly
the essays on political and social theory).

Do you get the idea??? Precocious college students and teens as
well.

What we don't want:

Anything that will get the FCC after us or our affiliated
stations!

(Yeah, we love Howard Stern too... but...)

Slanders against anyone other than Dan Quayle, David Duke or
whoever it is funny to make jokes about today.

And, now what to do:

1. Print out the contest rules and the entry blank. Mail the
entry blank to us:

Komedy Contest Central
c/o R FRINGE
P.O. Box 37155
Tallahassee Florida 32315

2. Do something funny, dammit and right now!! Scripts only,
please. Remember (are you LISTENING??) that this is radio. Sight
gags don't work. However, it is funny to describe a picture of
Ivan the Terrible, Hitler, David Duke and Maggie "Ironbritches"
Thatcher wearing tutus, jumping around on all fours trying to
catch a small rabbit with their teeth, yelling """"You rodent,
you pest, you Bugs Bunny lookalike contest loser come here....
Nice wabbitt, it's dinner time......""""

You get the idea.

3. Send 3 scripts for 2-5 minute RADIO humor, fully annotated to
us:

The scripts can be mailed to the address above; or,
(PREFERRED!!!) uploaded in ASCII to the FRINGE FORUM, The Sequel,
the official BBS of the contest. MAKE THE UPLOAD A PRIVATE UPLOAD
FOR THE SYSOPS!!

1-904-656-2263  (2400,N,8,1 V 42 bis-- 9600 soonly)

What do winners get?

FIRST PRIZE: $ 500 certificate good for purchasing comedy
records; Production of their winning script; Tapes of their award



winning scripts; If of drinking legal age, a case of Award
Winning Florida Wine from Lafayette Vineyards and Winery, Ltd; if
still in short pants, a case of non-alcoholic stuff from
Lafayette Vineyards and Winery, Ltd; and 1/2 of a gerbil (you
pick which half.) That last comment was a joke. A joke. And,
you'll be put on our official contributing writers list and will
have additional scripts, SO LONG AS THEY ARE HILARIOUS or at
least slightly better than what we can write, produced and paid
for! Voila-- a bored accountant today, a professional comedy
writer tonight!

SECOND PRIZE: A certificate for $ 100 good for purchasing comedy
records; Production of their winning script; tapes of their award
winning script; AND, the half of the gerbil not picked by the
FIRST PRIZE WINNER! (A joke. We would never hurt small animals
unless there was no one watching and we were in a bad mood.
Another joke. Actually we love furry creatures (particularly
small fuzzy quadrupeds) so much that we almost never stalk them,
skin them and eat them roasted on a stick. Really. Except when
the moon is full and all this hair starts growing........) And
you'll be put on our official list of contributing writers!!!! If
you write more funny stuff- then voila, real MONEY!

HONORIFIC MENTIONS: The Judges will award as many dishonorable, I
mean honorable, mentions as are deserved, depending on what
intoxicants that they have drunk prior to reading the scripts.
These will all be produced and purchased outright!!!! (Payment
ranges between $ 25 to $ 100). We will be receptive to further
FREE LANCE submissions from our honorable mention friends. Like
the small print (it's all the same print really, this is ASCII)
the amount of payment is determined by the autocratic judges and
is final!
