It was a great night in the Dog and Parrot, and a chance for regular tuesday visitors to see us do material that we take around the country, which is a hell of a lot better than the normal 'this is what I wrote this week' material that you get.
With the room bursting at the seams, and a warm friendly crowd, you knew an hour before it even started that the night would be a good one.
Callum Cramb opened the night, managing to weave his material into conversations with the crowd. Memories of childhood fears in an asian community and a genuine love for the charver underclass pepper his set.
Pete Thompson was next up, with a glitter ball that he spent all weekend making. He started strong with a song about how much he loves the laydeeez, and finished with a poetic lesson in scrabble. Inbetween any observers from Manchester will have recognised his 'Superb set' (as described by the Frog and Bucket) from Beat the Frog a few weeks back - where he won with style.
Al Dawes closed the night, a southerner lost in the north where he neither understands, nor is understood. He told tales of looking for love, finding it, and deciding he was better off without. And there was pipe-based philosophy.
A strong opening to the Comedy Festival Week in the Dog and Parrot, may it go from strength to strength.
