What a good evening! The venue was very cosy and comfortable, perfect for the performances. Very friendly staff. Locally brewed craft beers of a high standard, very nice. Comedians were very good. The host presenting the acts, Phil Cooper, was particularly entertaining and read the audience really well encouraging participation. All-in-all, a great night.
