| COURTYARD
COMEDY CLUB |
|
There
are two comedy night at The Courtyard this December:
The first is on Friday the 3rd December.
Topping the bill is Quincy, who is, by his own admission, not
someone you would want to meet down a dark alley.
But, as he points out, if you are hanging around dark alleys
looking for a large black man, he would rather not meet you
either.
His material covers the horrors of being a single father, the
possibility of a black James Bond demanding weed instead of
vodka martini and his love of breasts that slap you back.
Also on the bill is Alistair Barrie who's material covesr all
bases from Michael JacksonΒ’s take on the war in Kosovo
to the English inability to deal with the weather.
The Christmas special is on the 17th of December and stars Harry
Denford, who's a Saarf London Geezer.
He'll take the audience to his world of stone cladding, gold
sovereigns and ownership of a holiday caravan in Essex is real
class.
Also on the bill is Jack Russell, whose stream of consciousness
observations cover all topics from dog passports to the Glastonbury
Festival. |

| MARRS
BAR COMEDY ZONE |
|
The
Marrs Bar comedy zone opens its doors again on the 2nd of December.
On the bill this month are Steve Hughes, Howard Read & Harriet
Bowden.
Steve Hughes is an Auzzie drummer turned comedian.
After ten years rehearsing, recording and touring - all from
sitting behind the drum kit, he decided to walk around the front
of the kit, and talk to the audience... then he decided to try
it without the band... he was a comic!
Howard
Read's loveable, mildly absurd amblings cover subjects from
refuse collection and the elderly, to God, sex, probably death
in there somewhere, and the hunting techniques of the Polar
Bear.
According to Time Out Harriet Bowden is 'gorgeously gifted...
the Morticia of the comedy circuit winding her way through
her deliciously dark humour.
