This was our market testing of a New Talent night. It was a full house for an excellent nights entertainment


Spikey Mike - good

Wes Packer - yes, very good. He really got the show going. He reminded me of a welsh Jerry Sadowitz. His act was one big angry rant against the world - the politically correct period has clearly missed him. He really got the entire evening going


Aaron Rice


John Copper - he was excellent. A really strong act who should be doing 20minute spots. He did 15minutes for us and it was top quality from start to finish


Martin Aldridge - wow! what an act. This guy asked me during the beer break if he could do 5 minutes of knob gags - apparently he comperes a club in Plymouth. He was brilliant. His gags were pure 1970's, nothing offensive, nothing really personal, but great all the same. Example of one of gags "my wife has just had a tattoo of a sea shell done on the inside of her thigh. If you put your ear to it, you can smell fish. He did 10minutes - he could easily have done 20minutes.


Jim Smallman - yes, good. The audience really liked him


Tom Binns - he was excellent and mucked about with the audience. In the above photo he was telephoning his ex-girlfriend.
