This week another full crowd! Thanks for coming out. And a great line up onstage, With Tom Mitchell, Adam Tempest, Dave Dynamite, Nish and Chris Ramsey.
Tom Mitchell started us off, with the smoking ban coming he'll finally be rid of lazy smokers asking for a light, at least heroin adicts carry their own equiptment. A nice start to the show from one of the masterminds behind the Belly Rub Sketch group.
Adam Tempest was next up, representing all the hypocondriac comedians out there. Just don't call him a 'hypo' - it sounds like a disease and he'll think he's got it.
Dave Dynamite stepped up to plug a gap in the schedule, and destroyed the mic stand within seconds of getting on the stage, fortunately he also reduced the audience to tears, so we'll forgive him.
Next up was Nish - sent as a substitute by Ed Gamble who had a dicky tummy. Nish turned out to be the super sub, delivering a great set encompassing drive by racism and strategies for getting out of fights, through the use of ballroom dancing.
Finally Chris Ramsey took to the stage with a collection of new material - he's saving his best stuff for next week at the Chillingham- see our monthly gig. Still a great end to a great night.
The theme was 'The Blues' so for the competition Pete and Cal - or Bobby 'torn ligament' Thompson, and Jack 'broken fingers' Cramb (to use their blues names) performed your blues lyrics. Our favourite was
I woke up this morning, my Boyfriend was dead, My PMT was so bad, I'd punched him til he bled. (and it was by a girl too.)

Al Dawes manfully forgot to mention the theme, and talked a bit too much about sex. He introduced:
Donnachda O'Conill - who is not a cheeky Irish chappy full of blarney at all;
Paul Gerrard - LLC's favourite gag machine;
Jo-Bie - who is EIGHTEEN, remember that, EIGHTEEN!;
Andy Taylor - it was Andy's first attempt, we hope to see him back soon;
Julie Dunstone - back up again to talk about smoking and farting;
Dave McCue - big fan of geordie flight crew
Dave Dynamite - with all manner of manic fresh material...if only Richard and Judy were more working class...

Guest compere Don Moses took control for the whole night, doing magic, performing to camera, and generally being the all round entertainer that he is.
Also performing on the night were:
Kate Fox - poet turned comedian possibly turning back a bit to a poet;
Michael Hunter - regular punter who is just starting to entertain;
Dickie Gardener - Hexham chunky monkey who has just recovered from a mystery illness;
Ric Wharton - Sick little puppy with a cheeky grin, so you don't always realise the unadulterated foulness pouring forth from him
Callum Cramb - Our very own man inviting jokes from the audience, and telling tales of recent conquests.

1st May - Madness.
Guest Compere Chris Ramsey introduces the LLC experience, Danny Case, Sean Mcloughlin, Ric Wharton, James Christopher and Carl Hutchinson.(Not pictured.)
1st May - Madness.
Back to (sort of) respectable numbers after a poorly attended couple of weeks. And we were certainly back to full strength on the stage, with a packed bill of great acts. Guest compere Chris Ramsey did a great job...
...more later.
The competition was Am I going Mad?
We all have occassional mental lapses which may be the first signs of mental colapse. We asked 'What have you done recently which led you to ask, 'Am I going loopy?'
-I say 'Ow!' if my backdoor slams particularly hard. Am I going Mad?
-I just unwrapped a toffee, threw it in the bin and put the paper in my mouth. Am I going Mad?
-After an hour of searching I found my glasses in the fridge. Am I going Mad?
Our winner was the woman who panicked during her driving test and took the instruction 'go straight over the roundabout' too literally.
