Morecambe and have a go if you think you're funny enough...

Morecambe is turning out to be quite a hotbed of comedy happenings. Yesterday, Anna and I took our raps back to Alt Space for Intergalactic Comedy Stylings alongside a host of other adventurous acts. Having known one of the hosts (Randy Be) from my time in London, when he ran nights in nearby Rochester, I knew it would be suitably anarchic.

Whilst the acts were bold the audience were bolder. An extended family occupied the centre rows armed with all forms of bring-you-own-booze and a need to contribute to every act's performance in their own 'unique' way. Attempts to finish punchlines, random words and, at one point, one of the group briefly pulling his shorts (yes, shorts on a dark cold rainy night) down - we got through more of our set than most thanks to our ability to turn the volume up on the backing tracks and blow their minds by not standing up and telling jokes.

The chaos crescendoed with an unannounced improv game involving Tony Slattery (of Whose Line Is It Anyway and many other TV shows fame) closing the night. Quite a thing to see.

Show complete we made our ninety minute way back to the Peak and left the hardcore to drink it up some in this bewilderingly brilliant town.

Tomorrow I'm at The Binary Bar (Manchester) for Giggle Gang Comedy with my guitar. The third instalment of Parodies from the Peak District is online now.
