Tues 22nd Jan, WEATHER

With regular hosts Al, Callum and Pete.

Because of no internet, new job and a real baby, we fell behind with updates. Just to keep up, in the last two weeks we had:

Jan 22nd - Weather
Al Dawes introducing:
Christian Steel, who was a scary ranty man, but camp with it
Alex Ryden, bought along a posh man called bertie, and talked about bernard, from bernard's watch
Lee Teah, sang a tribute to james (rhymingslang) blunt's you're beautiful
Carlos, who was less weird than normal
Don Barr, who nearly broke his guitar
Gareth Urwin, who was cheeky and chatty
Callum Cramb who I've seen before. Terribly funny fellow.

Jan 29th - Locals
Al Dawes and Pete "seen a baby come out of his wife's clacker" Thompson introduced: Carl Hutchinson, who got angry at strange drunken ladies from Redcar
Rex Purnell, who was sad to see the ladies from Redcar leave
Chris Martin, who is still somehow 8 years old inside
Sean Mcloughlin, would rather he just wasn't here
Paul Gerrard, who has a friend that does voodoo - very funny gagsmith
and Greg?

What to say about Greg? ? Well, there were pretty girls in the room who nearly punched him. And he knows a girl who isn't very good looking, who most likely has self esteem issues, and deals with them the old fashioned way. I don't think he does much to allay those issues to be honest.

CAN I HAVE A GO?
If you've always wanted to try your hand, or you've done a few gigs and want more stage time - just pick a date and drop us a line. Send an e-mail.

Psychology, Tues 15th Jan



OUR SHOW THIS WEEK...
Jan 15th - Psychology
With John Scott, Chris Ramsey, Chris Martin, Tom Roche, Beth Anderson, Sarah Speak, Danny Jackson and Robbie Hearst

Al Dawes opened the show with a bit of a concern that he's the only guy in the north east that didn't get a wii. He was wrong.
Chris Martin had some new ideas, and memories of childhood. And being rude at train ticket inspectors
Chris Ramsey had a few ideas to try, but in Chris' normal way, he mostly enjoyed telling the audience they weren't as cool as him.
Tom Roche finished the first section with tales of scaring off motorway drivers. He's a high energy, slightly scary performer, who is a little too old to still be throwing his weight around like that.
Callum Cramb looked after the middle section with his scary alter-ego. I imagine we will see more of the freak that lives in callums head in the future.
The middle section consisted of the frankly scary Sarah Speak - singing and dancing and frightening me. Danny Jackson explained his recovery from being a serial rapist, and Beth Anderson was trying to be cool, but then failed because she was scared of turning into Pauline Fowler.
Pete Thompson looked after the final section, including Robbie Hearst, who likes that the schools secretary is called Ed Balls (fnurr, fnurr) and finally John Scott, with tales of holidays and prunes. Once again, a pleasure to have such high quality acts topping and tailing the night.

And this week's competition...
What does our Rorschach picture remind you of?

It came down to two options - Bat sex, or a sneeze. And the sneeze won.
