20th March - This week in History.

Some of our stars this week, Ashley Frieze, Lee Chamberlin, and Don Moses.

Also appearing were Tom Mitchell and romantic novelist Selsdon Crupp.

York's James Christopher was compereing the first section again and warned us of the dangers of making improtant anouncements when Eastenders is about to finish. (Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun!) It makes things sound more dramatic than they are and may cause cockneyism. He introduced Tom Mitchell (of the fabulous sketch group Belly Rub) was flying solo this week with his stand up- he wondered why smokers are so disorganised, smack addicts don't ask you for a syringe.
Don Moses was back, wondering why football dugouts are now called 'technical areas' - there's nothing very technical about telling someone to f@&*($ hit it.

Pete was compere for the rest of the night, and soon abandonned his 'this week in history' themed material- it turned out to be informative but not funny, which is why no one else had bothered with it. Instead he got stuck in the logical problems of 'ripping the piss' put of someone for going to the toilet - are you actually helping them? The plucky recipient was Seb Proudfoot, and came in for more abuse when we pondered how he got his name. 'Well, I'm a baker, so I'll be Joe Baker. What about Seb?' 'Well, he's very proud of his feet.' Cheers Seb.

Lee Chamberlain has been unlucky in love. He did meet a nice girl on line. From Thailand. Called Dave. A nice set from a nice bloke, making an overdue return after his first LLC gig last year.

Finally, Ashley Freize was the first musical act we've had in ages. Songs of bum love, stalkers, and the horror that is eurovision. All in one jolly, guitar stummin' package.
