31st July - Summer Holidays

The LLC regulars in The Winston Churchill Story, Flash, Sean Turner, Jamie Rothwell, Steff Peddie, also appearing were Chris Ramsey and Paul Gerrard.


Sean turner started us off with with a set which included his invention- 'the imortality box'- a converted plant pot on the head, based on the theory that no one has ever died with a plant pot on their head. Up next was the magical Flash, with his version of 'Play your Cards Right.' He did the same act last year, but he's improved it no end- he can actually do a Brucie accent now. Paul Gerrard was back with another flotilla of killa one liners. (You can use that quote on your posters, Paul.)

Then Pete, Cal and Al took over the middle section to tell the story of Churchill, as hilarious as it was informative, this ended with stand up sets from Hitler, Stalin and the great man himself.

Chris Ramsey took to the stage so his film crew (yes, he really had a film crew.) could capture his best bits, Chris is making a video to show all the New York promoters when he's there for the comedy festival. (yes, he really is going to the NY comedy festival.) Jamie Rothwell was back for his second appearance with a very smooth set. He's the guy who has to investigate our insurance claims, naturally he gets a lot of tall tales. 'Some charvas off the estate broke in, my collection of faberge eggs was completely ruined.' Finally Steff Peddie (off of the telly) made a welcome return and closed the night in fine style.

24TH JULY- CELEBRITY.

The best show in ages! A big crowd, spurring on all the acts to greater things, it made for an unforgetable night!

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.

17TH JULY -'LOVE'

With Phil Buckley, Don Moses, Joby and Carl Hutchinson.


A treat tonight as Phil Buckley was performing an Edinburgh Preview show, 'Stroke the Panda!' the tale of Phil's quest to find that special someone, -somone who's up for Panda loving. From dates (speed, blind and just plain awful) to chat up lines, internet matchmakers, and good old friends sticking their oar in.

But that wasn't all. We had Carl with some of his classic material, and he also started a lively topical debate among the crowd- Pickled Onion Monster Munch? Yay or Nay.

Joby was back, he's unlucky with women, pets and chavas- well if you insist on giving them grammar lessons, it's bound to upset them.

Don was back with an amazing new trick- he can guess and write down any word you think of. Unfortunately due to an age related dyslexia, he can't spell it.

JULY 10TH- GREAT BRITONS.

With Jenny Armstrong, Beth Anderson, Adam Tempest, Flash and Sean Turner.
