Another small, but perfectly formed night. (We'll have to spread the word and get back to the full rooms we had over the Summer.)
Steffen Peddie came down to kick things off and got the room going with tales of his wrestling days when he was known as Judge Mental. Another comic might have to make up a story like that, but Steff just dips into his checkered past.
Pete appeared as Lord Caruthers-Worthington, a time traveller from 1843. This is a character he's developing for a radio competition, so apologies to anyone who didn't know what he was talking about. Particularly when he explained why it's necessary to be naked and covered in goose fat when coming up his time hole.
Comedy magic from the Flash. He had a new box of tricks to show us, including his version of 'Play Your Cards Right' with Bruce Forsythe. He can't do the voice, but he's got the chin mastered.
Dan Bland was up from Leeds and gave us a great stand up set. Hopefully he'll be back when we've got a bigger crowd - that's a long drive to play for 10 people.
After Dan's brief return to 'normal' stand up comedy, we were back in to the weird zone with Nolbert stump. Actually this was two characters in one, as a magic potion turned Nolbert into an artist -saliva Dor Dali. This is brilliant physical comedy, at one point there was an audible gasp when Nolbert looked (somehow) as if he might pull his own head off. See the review of Nolbert on the 13th of June, where there's also a link to his own website.
