Safe opener.” That kind of thing. ‘Punbelievable!’ ***** (Mirror). Winner: Joke of the Edinburgh Fringe; Winner: Joke of the Leicester Comedy Festival.

Olga was Fantastic and £5 is a bargain. The Piper could be a great small venue for comedy but the chairs could be better and more thought to the atmosphere created.

Venue was rubbish, the music was playing so loud upstairs you could not hear the gig very well! They either need to keep the volume down or don’t bother with it as a venue! Charlie was very good, and very interesting watching his work in progress. Such a shame I was the only audience member! And that is not a reflection in Charlie, probably just the venue!
