Gordon Whiteside injured him.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

I was at Komedia last Friday night, Romesh Ranganathan was absolutely incredibly funny. Top performance from him, and [MENTION=1318]Comedy Steve[/MENTION] who laid into some vocal twats before and during the first act.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

McIntyre performed a good half hour stint for the second year in a row. Raganathan is talented and Adam Hill really knows how to Improv

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Going to see John Richardson.

Enjoyed the evening. Only poor performance was Jo Brand and although Suzi Ruffell was funny, she has hardly changed her act since last year. I thought the young lad (Elliott Steel?) did well, despite the microphone problems. This was the second year we have been and always good value for money as well as being for a good cause.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Mark Steel tomorrow night.

Going tonight also to his 'Back in Town' show which will be curious as I believe he lives in Hove.

I was there that night too. Great stuff.

Mark Steel pretty good did about 2hrs 15".

He inevitably got some Palace/Albion digs in, including showing a picture of him in an empty Amex claiming "that was when a game was on" which I felt obliged to heckle.

Saw Pete Firman (cheeky trickster) at the Pavilion (Dome Studio) on Saturday night. He was very good - I like the format as well of a fairly short one hour show for a relatively low price (£15) leaving time to go for beer/dinner afterwards.

I saw Rob Beckett last night and was very impressed, some bits had me nearly crying with laughter. At the end of the show he stood by the exit and personally thanked everyone as they left, which was a nice touch.
