Welcome
 Archangel Shecky
& Win $100

Breakfasts with Archangel Shecky is now available…and to honor that occasion Round Table is sponsoring a Writer’s Contest. 

On Page 72 of Breakfasts with Archangel Shecky, Chuck Barry, the comedy wannabe in the novel, performs a routine.  We think it’s pretty good, but it can always be better.  And that’s your job...

Write three jokes that can be included in the routine.

            They can be

a.       Completely new jokes that can be inserted into the routine,

b.      Rewrites — rewritten and improved — of the gags that are in the book,

c.       A combination of the two

In any case, you are permitted a combination of only 3 original additions or rewrites. 

Prizes will be awarded as follows:

            First Place - $100

            Second Place - $50

            Third Place - $25

20 Honorable Mentions will receive a prize from Quill Driver Books or Jester Press

You don’t have to buy the book (we would love it if you did) but you will need a copy of the 6-joke monologue that appears on Page 72.  You can check it out at the library, borrow from a friend, or go to www.writingcomedy.com and order a copy from us.  Gene will be happy to personalize your copy if you request an autograph on your order form.

            If you have any questions, email us at shecky@archangelshecky.com.
