Wih Ian Fox -previewing his Edinburgh show, ' One Man Defective Story', Dikie Gardener, Ric Wharton, John Scott and Adam Tempest.
Also appearing, Danny Jackson.
Ian Fox started us off with a sneeky peek at his new show for the Edinburgh festival, 'One man defective story'. The defective man in question is Ian himself, an alternative title could be 'What's wrong with me?'- a question Ian is asked a bit too often. So the show is an investigation into himself, asking various witnesses and sniffing out clues to see what is wrong with Ian fox.
After Ian, who went on first to get used to warming up cold crowds, we were back with the usual LLC fare. The quirky world of uber-nerd Adam tempest. The boistrous joviality of Dicky Gardner (this week wondering why Mr. T was wasted on advertisng Snickers- Surely the airline B.A. have missed a trick.) Pete Thompson finished the first section with a song urging us to count out blessings - at least were never eaten by dangerous animals, which was a rousing end to a great section.
Ric wharton, is going from strength to strength and developing into a surprisingly dark, but very funny act. This week he was both behind the times and cutting edge, getting poy and Simo Weston into the same joke. Danny Jackson made his debut with a very entertaining 5 minutes, on the new trend of Face Book 'it's social pokemon, gotta cAtch them all!' Finally a long missed John Scott was back, with a bumper holiday special and tales of his Roman holiday. John even picked up a smattering of Italian, which sounds quite sophisticated until you work out it's the health warning from his fag packets.
