24th Oct - Hangovers

It was the hangover show. Some 40 odd people came to see our tuesday night extravaganza.

Al Dawes opened the show, displaying his love for the ale with a series of tales of drunken and hungover stupidity, and doing his damndest to warm up the lovely crowd.

The first section included Dave Howarth, who was interrupted a few times by the headliner, and lead with the interesting tactic of taking the piss out of the town he was visiting. A nice set though, and he valiantly did hangover material! The theme took off!

Ian Smith was up next, cute little thing. He's from goole, and he likes it. A little bit. Leading off with a joke about Downs syndrome, which he pulled off well, he pushed the envelope and won.

The second section included Pete Thompson as MC, and he introduced:

Former Bobby Richard Lakin, his material unsurprisingly was that of what went on when he was in the force. Waltzing around the stage, he told us all about the vindictive nature of your average bored policeman, and the embarrassing badges they wear.

Local promoter Neil Magee followed on, and did a short but very snappy set, full of gags. He was the first to really get the crowd going, and he really seemed to enjoy himself.

The third section had Callum Cramb in charge, former plonky and man with plenty tales of hangovers. The theme went well.

Carl Hutchinson came on to do one of his first ever gigs, and the crowd gave him a lot of support. He marvelled at the odd boasting of newcastle drinkers.

John Scott closed the night for us with a great 20 minutes of material, with liberal use of the 'c' word, which he assures us is just punctuation where he comes from. John took us to the middle east, and back, the british legion. A great performance from an LLC regular, and you get all this for just £2.
