Well this month the day of our event started even earlier than ususal as it was our job to escort the lovely James Christopher to Seaside FM (He cannot be trusted in crowds).
So we all met up and popped on a bus to the lovely seaside town of Withernsea where we would go to the Seaside FM office to chat about the Comedy Club and to introduce our new host to the world.
Before dropping by the Studio we enjoyed a stroll by the sea and a spot of lunch in the lovely cafe next door (fish fingers, chips and beans are highly recommended).
During the interview James had a chat about his influences and the two comedy nights that he runs in his hometown of York - Black Comedy & 1331 Comedy (check out their myspace pages for more details). We also had the opportunity to offer a taster of what is coming up at C69 including performances from Paul Foot, Tony Law, Chris Mayo, Trevor Lock and a Frank Sidebottom Take Over in October.
Mike was supportive as ever and we would like to say a big thank you to him for his hospitality - we look forward to a return visit!
Once the interview was over we then dashed to Hull to finalise the preparations for the main event.
James Christopher opened the evening with his charm and comedy tales which helped to get the audience in the mood for a night of the best comedy.
The Magners Comedy Lounge commenced with an appearance from Masked Dan was who talked about many subjects in his own unique way. We were then treated to 3 replicagooseEgg films one of which involved a new game show idea along with Masked Dan's visit to Hull Fair and a warning of how the charm of a plastic dancing Christmas Tree can come between 2 friends!
Scarlet Lights closed the Magners Comedy Lounge with highlights from their recent play "sheality". They had the audience giggling with their sketches which covered the woman's view on relationships, waiting for that phone call, friendship and dieting.
After a short break dead-pan Comedian Mike Newall had the audience in sticthes with his own take on the world. He really is a guy to look out for in the future.
The headline act for the evening was the original Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppett Theatre who began their set with their theme tune "I'm a sock" which drew all the crowds attention to a small stage and 2 little socks. The performance of their Edinburgh Show included various hilarious songs including a take on "happiness". The show came to a dramatic end with the socks unique performance of Romeo and Juliet.
A great night was had by all and we just want to say a massive thank you to all our acts and everyone who came along to support us. Also a special thank you to Mr Christopher who will guide the audience through the world of Carnivale 69 every 3rd Sunday @ Durty Nelly's Pub, High Street, Hull.
There is lots more to come so make sure you do not miss our next event on Sunday 16th March with performances from Sam Jones, Masked Dan, Dan Bland and Mr Paul Foot all this and of course our resident Host James Chrsitopher.
