The Oval Comedy Club
1997-2000
It
all started at
The
Cosmic Comedy Club in Fulham Palace Road.
After
a whole year of thinking
"I
must pop in there one night... just for a laugh"
Brian
popped in .. and LOVED it!
and
when asked why he wanted them he replied "I shhh wad a pud a clubbonne dy"
which
to him meant "One day I shall start my own club..."
Being
true professionals they reluctantly handed over their numbers.
It
lasted for about 3 months before moving to
The
Grosvenor in Sidney Road Stockwell.
Cartoonist
John Byrne did some flyers for us.
While
MC
peddled
his miserable songs
ranted
and raved and tormented the audience
Keith
Weller
played
his part as Ed Butt The Bouncer
Erica
The Singing Waitress
sang
and waited... and waited
added
what he believed to be music to the interval
and
we had live bands at the end of the night
we
managed to squeeze in about 7 or 8 acts each night to please an audience of
between 2 and 150
We
did have 150 once when the brilliant Al Murray headlined on our 1st
birthday.
We
retained our original enthusiasm until
and
we're very happy to say it still is.
