A comfortably full house had a great night of entertainment.....but my camera packed up after one photo. Doh! I'm now busy trying to work out what went wrong.

For me, the act of the night was Dalton Trombo's Reluctant Cabaret. What a great act and I have no photographs of them. This is definately a act I want back.

Al Barrie did a great job as headline act, replacing Dominic Frisby at the last minute - his wife just gave birth.

Al Barrie - why isn't he in Birmingham more. He is a political aware comedian, with some very clever observations. For example, I didn't realise that the childrens book that President George W Bush claims to have been the first one he ever read, was actually published when George was 19 years old. Wow!

Toju did a sterling performance as opening act and Geoff Whiting was ever brilliant as compere. When will he perform at the Glee Club....that's the question of the night!!!!!
