A good show, and the numbers again were respectable. A couple of cancellations and no Callum meant we all had a bit of breathing space. Al took the first section (as he happens to work in a cheese factory)had the most to say on this weeks topic. -It really is churned by waterfall, and though they don't have oompa-loompas, there are some people working there who are small with strange coloured hair and orange skin.
First up was Don Moses, a professional magician who's now trying his hand at the funnies. His stage experience made for a confident performance and the material is already pretty good... pondering Alan Shearer's £102,000-a-week payroll he wondered how the negotiations worked '100 grand, that's an insult...'
Pete popped up with some new stuff for the middle section, he seemed disappointed with Don Moses, he was hoping he was a character act, a biblical gangster - hey pharoh, what part of let my people go do you not understand.
Next up, Katharyne Harrnacker gave us a short set, including her ex-with the rubber fetish. Batman. Tom Roche visited us for his second time, and despite constantly trying new material, still got the crowd completely with him. An emerging talent, and he drives all the way from birmingham just to come to our gig. He must like us.
Carl Hutchinson closed for us, exploring the hell that is daytime TV ads, and his joy at student life. Apparently the problem is you drink so much in the week, you find yourself sat in the house on a weekend watching x-factor!!
The cheese based competition was 'cheesy film club' with some cracking answers. The hunt for red leicester, the churninator, cheeses christ superstar. Great stuff.
