So, another Laughter-House Comedy night has come and gone.  It’s the little things which make me laugh.   Like the way that one comedian looked at me when I said ”I’m doing five minutes, just before you.”  
You’d think I’d suggested that he go outside and drink a pint of squirrel wee.  He obviously didn’t approve.  You could see it in his eyes “Oh no, the promotor’s having a go at performing.”
Thing is, I know my Laughter-House audience.  Most of them have been with me right from the off.  I’d likely be lynched if I didn’t go on stage.  Even if only briefly.  They like my naughty verse.  They like me talking about my muff.  They’re familiar with it.  In a manner of speaking.  
It was a cracking atmosphere. Our headliner, Brendon Dempsey, was awesome.  ”Have a good one” I said to him, just before he took to the stage.  “Oh, I always do” he said, smiling. “Not sure about the audience though.”
Don’t believe a word of it.  They loved him and his casual Irish charm and clever humour. I think he was better the other night than when I've seen him on the TV.    A definite re-book for Mr Dempsey.
So…what next?  Well, promotion for the next show I suppose.  Thursday 20th May, so I’ll need to go into Basingstoke Town Centre and prat about as a sodding elf again just to raise awareness.
The things you have to do!  Still, beats working at Irrational Squid, being bullied for a living.
If you want to come along, we'd love to see you.  You can buy your tickets online through our website www.laughter-house.co.uk
