Comic Relief does Fame Academy
An email I just got from Mel Giedroyc… now popular culture is not my strong point. BUT it’s for char-i-dee and Mel does the fireworks for us at the Vann Fest and so I’m going to do my darndest to support her.
Please assist.
Dearest Gang
I am writing to you to let you know, in a rather embarrassing and self-publicizing way, that I am soon to take part in "Comic Relief Does Fame Academy" on BBC1. Now this involves several things. I have to sing (live) at the launch show which is on Saturday March 3rd, and if I am VOTED IN to the Academy (where I will start paying in sweat) then I will enter its hallowed doors on the following Wednesday, 7th March. I will then have to sing (live) every night to try and stay in if enough people VOTE FOR ME. If people VOTE FOR ME, then I could stay in till Friday March 16th, which is not going to happen because Barry from Eastenders is also doing it and he’s got a well brilliant voice. Now, do you see where I’m going with this? You may have noticed that certain of my words are in capitals.
Got it?
PLEASE VOTE FOR ME
I don’t actually know any of the phone/text numbers but if you watch the shows all will be revealed. And don’t forget, it’s all for Ch-aridee.
Now why vote for me? I’ll keep it brief. I’m regarding this as a mini-break. Bugger going to Riga on some beer-infested bender. I can do it in London and most importantly can get some well-earned kip away from a husband who snores as loudly as the QE2 coming into port, and two children who keep waking me up at 6 in the morning. I’ll say it again
PLEASE VOTE FOR ME
Tell your friends, family, colleagues, co-habitees, staff, teachers, pupils, passengers, bitches, clients, bosses, manicurists, financial advisors, exes, religious advisors, neighbours ANYONE to
VOTE FOR ME. VOTE FOR MY KIP. NOT FOR UKIP. FOR GOD’S SAKE NOT THAT.
I must go now and learn the back catalogue of Earth Wind and Fire
Much love, and just think of the good you will be doing the world when you vote for me.
Mel
