Comedy Group

We meet on Week 2 Thursdays at 2.45 to look at comedy old and new, hoping to pick out rising stars (we may not always agree!) and hopefully unearthing some items that are previously unseen or have been forgotten. Radio comedy is not ignored, and we have from time to time ventured into the world of podcasts. The 'homework' is proving popular (that must be a first!) and the Quiz each session continues to generate frustration, despondency and elation in roughly equal proportions. Come and see for yourself. Laughter is the best medicine!

Because of the late start time the group meets beforehand for coffee at around 2 pm. We are currently meeting at the Dice Cup.

On 9th July, we will meet at the ICC at the earlier time of 1.35, as the Spanish group will not be meeting on that date.

We ae planning a visit to Derby on Sunday 12 July, afternoon and evening, to see the Edinburgh Festival previews, put on annually at Derby’s Bar One by the Funhouse Comedy Club, masterminded by local legend Spiky Mike. A mere £14 will buy five hours of comedy presented by acts which, though not exactly household names, can provide a goodly amount of laughs.
