When lockdown hit and all shows were cancelled for the foreseeable we weren't too sure what to do next with West Didsbury Comedy Festival.

After a few weeks of crying I dusted myself down and decided to get some shows out online and to make the most of the situation.

This episode is the audio from our live streamed Heat 3 of the New Act competition and it is an absolute beauty. 

I joined MC Chris Brooker throughout a lot of the show as we introduced some brilliant new-ish acts, plus the amazing Micky P Kerr who closed the show. 

1) ALEX STRINGER 2) LEW FITZ 3) SILHAM SHAHZAD 4) TOM RHYS EVANS 5) ANDY QUIRK 6) LAURA K MCMAHON 7) PAUL CAMPBELL 8) NATALIE HUSDAN

HEADLINER MICKY P KERR

S2 EP13: TONY COWARDS
Tony is a rapidfire gag merchant with an arsenal full of one-liners, for laughs-per-minute he's tough to beat! Renowned on the circuit for his quick wit and beautifully crafted material I am personally a big fan of Tony and his work! Something of a Twitter sensation, Tony's jokes turn up in all sorts of places, from greetings cards to The Times newspaper, even if you've never heard of him there's a good chance that you'll have laughed at one of his gags.
We enjoy a lovely rambling conversation which takes us everywhere from dog walking, to family life, static electricity, corona virus, online comedy and bins...mainly bins.

LEE JONES is both the owner of ROFL comedy club and also the owner of both WBU and WBF World Boxing Titles. 
Its a fascinating discussion about boxing (I know literally nothing about it, but how often do you talk to a world champion!) and how Lee ended up with first a comedy club in Burslam and now currently ROFL in Newcastle Under Lyme.
Not too surprisingly Lee is a focused and determined man who likes things just a certain way, and it is that attention to detail and winning mentality that is gaining ROFL rave reviews from both comedians and audiences. A chat almost from the other side of comedy where we look at the impact of Lockdown on his business and what a club owner thinks about the circuit.

RANDOMISER: As part of the abridged West Didsbury Comedy Festival Live & Online I came up with some new shows and formats. This is one of those where 4 comedians went head to head against each other and the Randomiser. Random topics to choose from on a variety of subjects to show off their skills. This is the audio take from the video, which is up on www.facebook.com/westdidscomfest. The amazing comedians being brilliant and generous with their time are John Scott, Sadia Azmat, Raul Kohli and Vladimir McTavish!

S2 E10: Boothby Graffoe should have been performing a sold out on opening night of my comedy festival, WEST DIDSBURY COMEDY FESTIVAL. Now for obvious reasons the festival could not go ahead, so rather than be beaten completely we teamed up with Jokepit.com and EVO Didsbury to put a mini version of the festival live and online. The audio here is from the live stream, so there are a couple of occasions when we are clearly chatting about something visual. However, this was just too good not share from one of the very best in the business. We even get some songs too! To fill in the gaps head to https://www.facebook.com/westdidscomfest and watch this video plus other shows that went out over festival weekend. ENJOY!
If you don’t know Boothby here are just a few quotes about his greatness! ‘A musical comedy act who is more musical than most musicians, and funnier than most comedians.' - Stewart Lee

'If I had to compare him to anyone, it would be Spike Milligan.' - Omid Djalili

"Sings songs that are both beautiful and funny" - The Guardian

"...it's not fair to call them comedy songs, they are much more than that, there are some i would dare to call genius." -The Times

"Buy two copies of his cd because you'll want to share but you won't want to give it away." -The Scotsman

"No more music maestro, please!" -The Independent

"It's gloriously entertaining and creative stuff, with surreal leaps of imagination, twists of language and intelligent and pithy one-liners all intertwined with poignant yet often hilarious songs and music."
