"I have torn my trousers while showing off. (There will be much showing off)"
For people who like comedy gigs that are:
a) good
b) 8 of your pounds
c) non-cvnty
...might I recommend The Alternative Comedy Memorial Society, beginning on Tuesday at the New Red Lion Theatre in Islington..?
Tom Bell and the Luke & Thom-shaped hosts look like this (ignore the Pippa woman), though they often wear less jumble (well, Luke at least):
For the first un they have on Tom Bell, Will Andrews, Nadia Kamil, Dan Antopolski, Nat Luurtsema, Tom Craine, Terry Saunders, Elis James, David McNeill and headliner Tony Law. In an excellent / overly-footed recent interview to promote the night, this ambitious booking policy was noted, the boys asked how exactly they were "planning to squeeze them all in, set-wise or, indeed, physically"?
THOM: That, my dear, would be telling. (We have no clue).
LUKE (italics): We are considering pioneering 'simultaneous, non-collaborative performance', whereby several acts have to perform their acts simultaneously without paying any attention to each other*. Also, if you think the first one is overfull, just wait until you see the rest**. I used to be furious when I was bumped from the Book Club because it had been overbooked, now I fear I will become what I most hate (Robin Ince)***.
* This is not a lie.
** We are hoping some of our favourite comedians die before then (so we can run to time).
*** We all hate Robin Ince. 4
4 Possibly none more so than Robin Ince himself, and God †.
† I know for a fact that God doesn't believe in Robin Ince.
If I didn't know & like them already, I would after that. See also Humphrey's sterling turn on the 24 Hour Panel Show marathon 'Whose line Is It Anyway'. Huzzah.
