TUE 4TH DECEMBER - YORKSHIRE.

OUR SHOW THIS WEEK...
4th December - Yorkshire
Eee by gum. Ekee Thump. On Ilkley Moor bar tat. etc.

The Yorkshire Invasion this week (with a cheeky scot in for good measure)
James Christopher welcomed us to the evening, and we kicked off with:

Tom Walker, who talked at great lenght about how he looks a bit gay, and then at even greater length about dirty, dirty pornography. He was followed by Lee Chamberlain, who also talked about dirty porn.
Following on from that, we had Richard Scully, who had some good tightly written material, some of it was about dirty porn. It was somewhere during this that three old ladies who looked a bit lost, left the room.

Section two saw the four yorkshiremen sketch beautifully re-created. 'I remember my first gig, it were down t'pit.' 'You were lucky!' very nice work it was too.

We also enjoyed the work of Kate Fox, who talked about Jism, Sam Gore, who talked about porn, and John Scott, who mercifully didn't mention porn at all. Though he did try to get into the spirit of things by scribbling a swastika on his notepad.

Finally, the night closed with Al Dawes forgetting it was his turn to go on stage, and Dan Bland giving us a lovely turn. He barely mentioned porn at all.

TUE. 27th NOV - WILD ANIMALS.

A small crowd this week, which was a shame as 3 of our acts had come all the way from Bonnie Scotland. Lizzie Moran, Chris Forbes and Jason Arnstein came a long way to play to 10 people. Still, everyone settled down with a lovely 'there's not many of us but we're bloody well going to enjoy it' attitude, and the night turned out to be a good 'un.


Also appearing (but not travelling so far were) Tony Basnett, Gareth Johnson, and Robbie Hearst.

TUES. 20TH NOVEMBER. Fashion

With Carl Hutchinson who was wondering why the student population of Jesmond wear sandals and scarves - are they cold or hot? A memorable performance from Ross Nolan (Cal actually says that on our voice recorder- but then couldn't remember anything except the fact he was good.) Dickie Gardner moaned about bad lyrics, and explained the English language (I don't know- I was at the back I couldn't hear.) Chris Ramsey returned from New York after winning the Galaxy Radio Comp, and he'd seen the most casual example of peeing in the street- the Guy didn't even stop walking. Adam Tempest "stormed it again!" - we let him review himself this week but he's not far off. And Joby finished the night off.

Sorry it's a crap review. We were drunk. We loved the acts - just couldn't remember what they'd said afterwards.

TUES 6TH NOV. - SIMPLE PLEASURES

This week we discussed those simple pleasures that can bring so much joy. Al is a fan of the 'crisp fart' -that waft of flavour that first explodes from a bag of Walkers. Pete's takes a simple pleasure in scratching his athletes foot, so much so that he never has the heart to complete the course of treatment and finally get rid of it.

It was Dave Dynamite's birthday, and what better way to celebrate than entertaining 30 people above a pub for no money. He's not buitter though, and put on a brilliant preformance as always.




The one-man freakshow that is Nolbert stump was back, looking frankly terrifying and ending his set by sawing a violin in half. It's a good thing the physical actor behind it all (Joe Hope) has used his power to make us laugh. If he decided to play it seriously Stump could scare the bejesus out of you.

Sean McLoughlin is one of the little flowers we've seen bloom in the LLC nursery. He's just about ripe now with a storming set including a humbling meeting with God 'Sean, I was pissed when I made you.'
