This was the first little big gig of the weekend

The East Quay was packed to capacity and after a short burst from the Punk Acapella Girl Band "Nirvanarama", compact compere Hils Barker warmed the audience up with introductions and a few well timed songs.

Zoe Lyons really dominated the stage recounting travel stories until the crowd were in tears - don't believe me? check out the gallery.

Hattie Hayridge's calm approach and orange sack jumper kept the audience giggling until they could take no more and staggered out into the warm evening.

Richard Coughlan's Littlest show

A regular at the Arden Theatre in Faversham Richard's sharp wit kept off the hecklers at what was to be the most intimate of shows.

Always billed to be edgy Richard bagged the award for comedy nearest the knuckle at the Winky Awards on Sunday.  If you want to know why go see his comedy inc. show at the Arden Theatre in Faversham.

Getting battered with Comedy Art

A rare winkly treat this one with artwork from local artists including Johnny Butterworth, Mike Gibson and let's not forget the disturbing acrylics leant by Harry Hill!

Boothby Graffoe came out of hiding for this gig to step in for Dominic Holland.

Boothby is an established comedian who has in the past supported the bare naked ladies on tour.  His unique style of humour took us well past 11pm finishing his set with a song called Bungee Girl with a unique magical guitar-playing technique.

Paul Foot arrived nice and early and made the most of a town he loves stepping out of Delia's oyster bar with half a quiche.  His quirky manner is no act, and his one-man mime for kestre-lovers is not to be missed.  The laughter kept coming the less he did!

What a night !  Richard Herring at The Stables was totally sold out and the audience were ready for comedy.

John Gordillo opened and did an hilarious set about his Dad the energy can be seen in the gallery.

Richard Herring finished the crowd off in the best way possible and was total comedy value for money.

Another busy night at the East Quay

Paul Tonkinsons expressive and understated humour kept the audience on form with Martin Coyote warming up.

The evening finished with a great musical set from The Ronnies.

Pappy's Play Up!

Double Bubble as The Fun Club play their Edinburgh Set as well as the stuff that got them noticed by everyone.

Adam Bloom - Kaboom!

Immediately after the gig, Adam grabbed me by the collars.  Expecting to be head-butted he hugged me and told me how his gig had been turned into an EVENT he will never forget!

His rare brand of fast pace cerebral humour built to a crescendo and the audience will never forget the ending.  Needless to say the member of the audience concerned should come off the cabbage diet and take a pill !!

Otiz Cannelloni please be my friend!  A raft of one liners from this middle aged schoolboy has fuelled the offices of Whitstable making the trip to the filtered water that much more fun.

Lenny Peters held it all together for an unforgettable evening where King David's Trio finished off and got the acts dancing as well as the audience.

Mitch Benn and Friend

Gareth Berliner headed up the evening at the Stables keeping the audience on their toes whilst Mitch Benn did a full one hour set which had people rolling in the aisles.

Milton Jones & Patrick Monohan

 These boys know how to entertain a crowd but did they know they had to get a lift in a Tuc Tuc to get there?

Patrick loved every minute but I thought Milton Jones was going to puke I am so pleased his little puce features changed before the show started.  The crowd lapped it up, I've never known someone with so many Grandads and a psychopath for a Gran!

Voted Best Comedy Act of the Festival at the Winky Awards

Without a doubt this show tickled the most chuckles out of one crowd.  Completely fresh and new every time this foursome didn't stop with a relentless banter at the Horsebridge.  The audience fed them lines and they embelished them.  Oh and by the way my friend said you left your horseradish cheese behind but don't worry apparently it was s**t.
