But I have crap seats since it was a last minute decision, and I'm in the circle seats, somewhere...above the clouds, but it'll have to do. |

 T'was well worth it, though. |

South London to Kent. Oh yes. Group: Senior Members Posts: 1,459 Joined: 9-June 05 From: London Member No.: 4,064 |
I saw Little Britain last night. The banter between Matt and David was funnier than the scripted show, with them discussing David's sexuality. The second half and encore were the highlights.
I think the sketches were too quick. |

They say laughter is the best therapy, and I certainly enjoyed last night's benefit for the Mental Health Foundation.
Adam Bloom was ok in his agressive, fast talking way. Porky the Poet (aka Phill Jupitus) was actually quite good. Simon Amstell was fitfully amusing. Rob Newman did a humourous skit on his elderly landlords but then I had to go to the loo. Adams Hills was brilliantly lovely. Stewart Lee was very good, if more clever than funny at times. Mike Wilmot was disgustingly funny. The compere, Daniel Kitson, was genius. |

If anyone fancies a jaunt to Nottingham, here’s our comedy for next season:
Sean Hughes, Thursday 1st February 2007 8pm This is a fairly late edition to the programme and to be honest I don’t know anything about the show, but I like Sean Hughes a lot and he’s supposed to be a very good stand-up. He’s in ‘The Commitments’ you know… Russell Howard: Wandering, Saturday 3rd February 2007 8pm Russell is very funny, and not just by comparison to the dire Andy Parsons when he’s on ‘Mock the Week’. He’s also rather cute at only 25, and reminds me a lot of Luke, which makes me like him even more. Josie Long: Kindness and Exuberance, Friday 9th February 2007 8pm Josie is even younger than Russell, I think she’s only 24, which is very annoying as she’s just won ‘Best Newcomer’ at the Edinburgh Festival – the clever girl. This is a lovely show and I did enjoy it, even if my cynicism occasionally overpowered my chuckle muscle. Everyone else adored it, and with good reason. I just think my expectations were a little high as I’ve seen Josie do shorter sets before and they were a bit better, or maybe there’s only so much kindness, exuberance and whimsy I can take… Shack would love this show. www.lakesidearts.org.uk |

Laughing Boy @ AKA Bar
We got free tickets from Ellie's friend for this excellent night. First up was young comedian du jour, Russell Howard, some time star of 'Mock The Week' and an object of Zoe's fancy. He was excellent. He has the energy of a small boy with very sharp delivery, his material covering everything from Teen Wolf to personal hygiene. Forgive me for not remembering the second two acts' names. First of those was a very nervous Canadian chap, who had some decent observational material but who kept commenting on how tough a crowd it was. Enough people were laughing, but comments like that slightly sour the mood. Next was an excellent female comedian who played a banjo to accompany some very funny songs and whose stuff was very sharp and unexpectedly self-deprecating. Last of all was Mark Watson, another 'Mock the Week'-er. His manic, shambling style ended the night on a high and even garnered an encore. |
