We'll have a 10 minute spot every week too, confirmed closer to the time

This is the answer.

I might take my friend to see Frisky and Mannish this weekend.

If I haven't already been whisked out of the country by then, I might be able to bring BOTH brothers - if I have already, I'll tell them to just go on without me. And the amazing Joe Wilkinson is indeed amazing.

The whole Steele clan?

Epic.

TOO RIGHT!

No one does distant otherworldliness like my flatmate!

I think she is perhaps part fairy or elf. Does she have pointy ears?

Good stuff - Margaret really does West End brilliantly!

Yeah! Russell Kane won the award formerly known as the Perrier!

I am a taste maker!

It's such a good show, do try and catch it on tour.

I just checked to see if he's playing the Grin Up North comedy festival and he is!

When I'm in New York.

Never mind. I'll keep an eye out to see if he pops up again.

He's in London in October (I think), I'd like to see him live.

Eyyy! Well deserved based on the preview - slick, professional, but most importantly funny.

I'm glad it's gone to someone I've heard of

He's also playing Manchester Comedy Festival on the 26th of October (Tuesday).

It's probably a running Joke, but Richard Herring seems.. Bitter.

I know he had a couple of things to say about not being nominated previously, but he's gone a bit off on Twitter in the last day or so.

I saw Doug Stanhope last night at the Leicester Square theatre.

He's a fantastic stage presence, always enjoyable and occasionally hilarious. On another note it's almost heroic to see someone drink so much in an hour and twenty minutes and it not adversely affect their performance.

I've seen Johnny Vegas drink more on stage, but it never ends well.

When he's at his best, full flow, no-one can touch him I reckon. He rarely is though as he is a proper ass alcoholic. The fact he can still be so good despite the drinking is a marvel I sometimes feel bad about.

Anyone know if Doug Stanhope's touring at all?

I just booked my tickets for One Man Lord of the Rings in a couple of weeks' time, and Stewart Francis in November.

As far as I know Doug is only doing these London dates in the Leicester Square Theatre up to the 11th Sept in the whole of Europe until sometime next year. For 2010, that's it for Stanhope outside Canada & the States.

Harumph! I'm next in London on the 19th Sept.

Got tickets to see Stephen K. Amos next May in Southampton. Aaaages away yet.

I really enjoyed his live show.

28th is Mummy's birthday, we may be in town for this momentous occasion. I don't think I would like to expose her to Mr Peacock, though.

You can see three great comedy gigs for only £4.50 each (online) at Kings Place this Friday

7:15pm – Tom Basden

8:30pm – Jenny Eclair

9:45pm – Rob Deering

I'll definitely be hanging around for Tom.

If you join Guardian Extra - they're only £3.50

http://www.guardian.co.uk/extra/2010/sep/0...-place-festival

Accurate!

I know I'm practically spamming now, but I'm sure you'll agree, I've put the hours in.

Just a bit!

One Man Lord Of The Rings was excellent as expected. Charlie Ross really is an astonishing performer.

Went to see Jack Whitehall at the Soho Theatre on Monday night as a bit of a last minute decision and I was really impressed. He had some great material and did a few excellent ad libs. Hard to believe he's only 22 with his confidence and manner on stage. The only thing I don't like so much about him is his splattering of 'Russell Brand-esque' mannerisms, which seem a little forced and not genuine. When he's not camping it up as much he's funnier. His stuff about Robert Pattinson was hilarious. Really good stuff.

If anyone's at a loose end I can really recommend 'WitTank' and 'Two Episodes of Mash' at Kings Place tonight (8pm, £9.50)

I saw both shows in Edinburgh and they're excellent. Everyone loves a sketch show!

Joe Wilkinson (Two Episodes of Mash) is currently being the funny one in 'Him and Her'.

I'm going to see a gig at Union Chapel on Saturday. Unfortunately, Chortle, the ticket website and the Union Chapel website aren't being hugely clear as to whether it will be just David O'Doherty or a number of acts on the bill. Either way, I am proper excited.

If you want to come along to one of my comedy nights, just let me know and I'll sort you guest list

Welcome to London!

http://www.kingsplace.co.uk/spoken-word/co...ith-their-heads

I've been wanting to come to Off With Their Heads for ages. If I've worked out my essay scheduling correctly, there's a very good chance I'll come to the one on the 21st.

I saw two sketch groups today, Toby and Beta Males Picnic.

I think certain members of the forum would particularly like the latter, but I recommend both.

Chortle Review

Gorrammit! I didn't know he'd been touring this already - I've probably missed out now too. Gah!


*checks*

Yep. Bugger.

Saw Australian comedy-trio Tripod the other night and they were absolutely hilarious. I've been a fan of theirs for about 6 years but this was the first time I've seen them live. I also got to meet them, so I was dead chuffed.

Really good line-up on Thursday. Roisin Conaty (won Best Newcomer at this year's awards formerly known as the Perriers), Alex Horne + Ray Peacock

Really good.

Stewart Lee tonight, possibly Tim Key tomorrow and there's a very good chance I'll be going to Off With Their Heads! next Thursday too. I love London.

Zoe, stop bullying Sean.

It's fine, it's really nearby and I have no lectures or seminars on Friday, so I really should have been already.

Stewart Lee was amazing, and a surprisingly good singer/songwriter. I got him to sign my book. Happy now.

We're too late. It'll be all Invasion of the Body Snatchers before long. You're Donald Sutherland.

Just got tix for Peter Kay at Birmingham next year! WOOOT!!!!!

I genuinely don't know who wrote this blog

http://3guysonalondonbus.com/2010/11/kings...enue-in-london/

but I like them

Not long before we see our Zoe in London's 100 Most Influential.

Just booked a ticket for next Thursday, because the concept of seeing both Frisky & Mannish and Ray Peacock was far, far too much to resist.

Armstrong & Miller last night. It was brilliant, we accidentally ended up in the front row but thankfully the closest we got to audience participation was Alexander Armstrong as the dentist looking in Mink's mouth, Ben Miller's vampire calling me a "fair young maiden" and Alexander Armstrong shaking hands with everyone in the front row. Not sure how much longer they're touring but if you can see them I'd recommend it.

This is an excellent choice.

It's a Sunday Times approved choice!

If you haven't been before this is a perfect week to start!

Forget to post that last week I was off at the last minute to watch lovely Dara O'Briain at the Grand in Leeds. As I expected, he was excellent.

The highlight was his bit about gaming. I laughed and laughed and became tempted to get a Playstation 3.

You mentioned Frisky and Mannish on here somewhere else and I had a little look and rather enjoyed what I saw. I also seem to have developed a bit of a crush on Frisky. Is that wrong? (Frisky is the girl isn't she?)

Please come to comedy at Kings Place, because it's solely my responsibility now... THANK YOU!

My ticket for Peacock and Gamble is booked, hooray and huzzah. I will now spent the next month trying to get my friends who aren't going to secret cinema to come along too.

^ I'd like to go to the 24th March one.


British Comedy Awards Nominees..
