5th December- Movies.


Ian Dennis, BOOZO THE CLOWN!, Guest Compere James Christopher, Sean McLoughlin and Don Moses.

With a few cancellations this week so only 4 acts, we decided to start the show a little later and only have 2 parts rather than 3. James Christopher, our visiting compere from York, was up first. He merged the movies theme with some audience banter, trying to come up with Arnie style 'death puns' based on the crowd's occupations... for a printer 'You have been erased' and for an I.T. support officer (Who's gun has jammed) 'Did you try turning it off and on again?' -It's even funnier in a bad Austrian accent.

Don Moses was up again honing his act and had some more promising material. He was followed by Sean McLoughlin, -only on his second gig (though the first was a 'So you think you're funny' heat) Sean has a nice laid back style. Commenting on the film tie-in album, usually claiming to contain 'music from and inspired by' he asked what songs have been 'inspired by' Big Momma's House 2. We hope to see more of this Newcastle Uni student next year. This section was rounded up by Pete introducing the competition - 'Budget Movies'. His examples of films re-made on the cheap included 'The Empire Strikes' - 90 minutes of Stormtroopers on a picket line, 'We're not finishing this Death Star until management meet our demands!'

Cal took the second part of the show and introduced Boozo the Clown. Another character from Joe (Nolbert Stump) Hope, Boozo is an alcoholic, foul mouthed, inappropriate balloon model making ex-circus clown, forced by a re-start program to try comedy or lose his benefits. How do you follow that? Well, Ian Dennis had a go with his dark brand of humour- though he's not as scary as the picture makes out- have a look at Ian's own comment if it's still on this page. We wrapped up with the competition, and the audience's 'budget films' included...

Alice in Sunderland.
Brewster's Quid.

...and a load more i can't remember having lost my notes. If you remember any, or any other details of the show you think warrant a mention, then please leave a comment.

Boozo here, whishing to apologise for the amount of times I said the 'C'swear word. Don't fret you soft b*****s,I promise to never say 'Clown' again.
Next time,I'll tell you lot about the time I had a 'fiddle' job with a travelling sideshow circus....
until then,
"Send in the C*****, don't bother, they're here".

I'm the sort of guy who loves to taste hot things. Right now I am building my own solar panels. I am doing it all alone without the help of my men. I am using the internet as the only path to acheive this. I came across a very awesome site that explains how to create solar panels and wind generators. The web site explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.

I am not exactly sure about how correct the info given there iz. If some people over here who have xp with these things can have a look and give your feedback in the page it will be grand and I'd highly appreciate it, because I really take an interest in [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com]solar panel construction[/URL].

Thanks for reading this. U guys are the best.
