Jelly Trumpet | 5,000 Downloads

It has taken a long, long, long time.

Most popular podcasts will experience this amount of downloads in an hour or less.!

We, that's me, Mr b, Claire and Tony 'the voice over guy' have put much work into Jelly Trumpet. Done with love & fun.

I see it as a testing time. A time where we built the foundation of a comedy show.

The writing has evolved from a creativity podcast to a full on 'comedy chaos' show.

I have learnt much about writing, about plotting and about character comedy as you will see more of in Season 04, published this side of Christmas and (almost finished) Season 05, 10 episodes of surreal comedy for the discerning comedy fan.

My thanks and appreciation go to:

Fin, my lovely daughter
Paul, the pro actor and our Sherlock Holmes
Ethne, always encouraging
Tony, man of a thousand voices
Dominic, the dauntless fan
Kel, the patient princess
Mr b, the ultimate tech and now a voice artist
Claire, many accents, much attitude and a special performer.

I thank you, our listeners for staying with us. There is so much more to come...

I've been rather busy with business and writing these first drafts at the weekend.

It's done now, do more time to share silly stuff from the show.

Hurrah!

Take care,

Jelly Trumpet | Writing Season 05

I'm currently writing episode 05.

I loved those old Mummy movies, hence this one episode set in Paris.

Still a first draft but the story shows promise because it is both silly and elements can reappear later in the season.

Season 04 is up first. We're still in recording mode. Should be out this September.

Stay fruity,

Jim

Jelly Trumpet |. Season 04 Recording

A good time was had by all yesterday as the cast of me, Mr Jim the wordman, the tech wizard Mr b and our voice artist extraordinaire Claire met up.

We recorded two episodes"

Episode 04 'Jaws of Doom'
Mr b has to keep the podcast call so sends it under the sea off the south coast.

Episode 05 'Gunfight at the Theatre Royal'
Due to a badly placed DVD of a spaghetti Western on the mixing desk the podcast travels back to the late 1800s to be chased by Wild Bill Hickok.

Tony, our voice over guy will add his bits later...

We hope to be publishing the whole of season 04 in September.

Stay fruity,

We are currently recording Season 04, off and on, when we have the time away from our full time work.

This is a hint of what is to come in Season 05 which I am writing off and on!

The pirates are some of my favourite characters from a previous project and strange but true then fit into Jelly Trumpet.

Captain Nice (pronounced 'niece')
Granite (a large and hairy pirate)
Woody (has peg legs, peg hands and a peg nose, bit of a poet)

It looks like they will appear in a two parter that launches Season 05.

Stay fruity,

A little messing with A.I. makes me look something approaching normal...
