Thought I’d let you all know out there that I went to a comedy night last Friday – I know, I know, you all thought I was chained to the Giveaway Support desk, well sometimes Tab lets me loose, only sometimes mind!
So, comedy… … a couple of up-and-coming acts, a couple of ‘find a new career mate’ acts (you know how it is!) and one outstanding act – Terry Alderton. Who? you may ask. I was ignorant myself, but this guy is funny. On checking him out, I find he’s made quite a few tv appearances, and even starred (tho’ blink and you’ll miss him!) in the Brit classic ‘Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’.
If you want to see some of this guy’s act (can’t remember seeing anyone with quite such a vocal talent – for mimicry, accents and special effects), then click here. The site has lots of info on him, including some from Terry himself (ok, so he’s not much of a writer, but he is a comic talent), you’ll also see where he’s appearing next, and be able to watch clips of him from his links to You Tube and Virgin Media. ‘Divinely Discontented’ is his act from the Edinburgh Comedy Fest. 2006, there’s a clip of this on the site too.
BUT, if you’re chained to your desk as much as I am (!) and aren’t able to catch this guy’s act. Then why not head on over to RewardPig and treat yourself to some free comic DVDs from Amazon, or even Lock Stock if you missed out on this back in ’98 (was it really that long ago?!). In this incessantly wet weather, raise a smile and raise it for free!!
Very enjoyable. I love comedy but some people are so bad lol.
I went to see roy chubby brown last year, a bit crude but it was funny. Especially when he bought out a naked inflatable jade goody.
