Hey folks,

although I do know Dagmar the organiser, so I could be accused of bias, I had the pleasure of checking out the English Comedy Club gig last night. Comedian Ivor Dembina was genuinely a hoot, many "from-the-hip" laugh lines but a lot of quite intelligent stuff in the mix as well. I also had the distinct pleasure of meeting a lot of excellent people in the process of enjoying myself laughing. This was professional comedy done by a fellow who knew how to work the crowd -- and I understand there's more to come in November.

Anyway, I had such a good time that I felt compelled to drop a line letting anyone who didn't go know that they missed a good one, and I'm also carving a space such that anyone who did go can give their assessment of the show here.

I also wanted to give huge public congratulations to Dagmar on a job very well done. Though she was keen to give everyone but herself credit last night. At some point I had to resort to threats telling her that she either took two seconds to pat herself on the back for good work, or all of us at the table were going to fall to our knees before her and start with the "We are not worthy". That did the trick.

Keep an eye out for it in November... if last night was anything to judge by, it's likely to be a very pleasant night out.



Next show: Comedy Club Tickets

is this the night at substanz?

That'd be the one, yes.

Was an excellent show... thoroughly enjoyed it! Definitely need to spread the word, as I really hope it takes off... Great job Dagmar and co.!

Hooray for Dagmar!

'Twas a brilliant night out... loads of fun people, excellent organisation & great laughs.

Thanks to all involved in putting this gig together-Ivor, Substanz, Krrrazy- kool compere Dory, etc. Well done Daggy & co!

The TT description of the English Comedy Club said that there would be shows on the first Sunday of every month... is there anything going on tomorrow night (October 3rd)? The website still talks about the September 5th show.

No October show due to the beer drinking festival.

The next show is November 7th. I'll be doin' a ha ha set then, but no Tex Mex will be served up with the jokes

Yep, no show tomorrow - sorry have problems entering my website at the moment, gahhhh!!

Therefore there is no comment to find on there!

Details on next show (7th November) will follow next week!

Thanks Dory for pointing this out!!!

Hi, this is my first message here. I'm not new to MUC, but must have been living in the stone ages and only recently found out about this site. Anyway, anybody game for the comedy evening on Nov. 7? And, being that I have never posted before, how do all the TT'ers meet at such events?

Its always a good question how TT'ers meet up at these events. Some say its luck, some swap mobile numbers, and sometimes you can spot TT''ers a mile off!

Not sure if I will be going yet, but I am sure there will be plenty of people there. The last comedy night was a sell out so get a ticket soon!

P

I'll be there! actually as a performer, but I'll be in the back throwin' down that free beer for comics. I was under strict instructions during the last show to go up there and make announcement. announcements only and introduce Ivor. If he told me once, he told me 10 times and I was a good girl, did exactly as told. This time I get to break out the ha ha.

So, I was wondering how many of you are interested in going the 7th of November...

I was at the last one in September, and I thoroughly enjoyed it...

I want to come along, missed the last one! Are the tickets on sale? Where?

Ticket booking form

See, I can be nice too. And I didn't even say, "just read the fcuking thread and you'll see very quickly where tickets are on sale". I must be getting soft in my old age.

Keydeck, you're always nice !

got my tickets! Looking forward to some great comedy Texas Tornado!

Next show is this Sunday (7th November 2004).

Out of a total of 130, there are currently 12 seated tickets remaining. When these sell out it will become standing room at the back only. They will probably sell out today or tomorrow.

Seated tickets available here: English Comedy Club

Probably a long shot but if anyone's got a spare ticket for the Comedy Club on Sunday night then I would be eternally grateful and offer copious amounts of money for the privilege of buying one...well at least 15 euros anyway !!!

Great show last night! Thoroughly enjoyed myself and some great acts! Mike Gunn was excellent!

Looking forward to the next one!!!

Yup, to watch Mike Gunn manhandling the hecklers was indeed a treat--also most excellent to see Texas Tornado work a comedy room, instead of placating the wanna-be culture vultures at a poetry slam. And I got to play DJ/Lights, which was also cool.

Congrats, again, to Dagmar, and to all the performers. Next one, I unnerstand, is December 5th--I'm sure you will all get advance warning. Heh.

Tickets are now on sale for the December show.

Sunday 5th December 2004
Comedian: Ian Stone from the U.K.

Buy tickets here: EnglishComedyClub.de

l've got my 2 tickets for the comedy club on the 5th Dec
It was terrific last time and was sold out so get the tix while you can
Substanz is a good venue for comedy too, bit dindgy and not too big

I've got my 4, looking forward to it.

got one all by my lonesome, perhaps i can join someone

I'll be there too... Great show last time!

@Planetgirl: On my own too this time. You're welcome to join me.

Oh Bollocks!!!

I enjoyed the last one so much and now my bloody sister has forced herself on my hospitalty so she can fly over from Blighty and drag me round the wienachtsmarkts on... Sunday the bloody 5th of December.

There had better be another one in a month Dagma!!!

Sin

I've got a ticket just for me, as well.
I'm sure we can sort out a little meet-up beforehand for a drink or two.

I'll be there too. Any suggestions where we could meet beforehand? Don't know the area too well myself

Does anyone know if the Comedy club is close to the Twisted Bavarian? (and yes, I am too lazy to be looking for a map at the moment)

No it isn't.

Thank you very much.

Meeting up beforehand is a good idea. I'm too shy to go to the comedy club on my own.
Who's up for meeting?
Don't know Poccistr. too well, anybody got any good ideas?
Sorry I can't make a suggestion.

I'm not personally familiar with the area either but according to this website http://www.munichx.de/trinken/blue.php Cafe Blue doesn't look as if it is too far away. At least it is on the same UBahn line and can only be one stop away I think.
Comedy Club doors open at 20:00, show doesn't start till 21:00 so how about meeting up in Cafe Blue at 19:00?

Right - Cafe Blue!
I've been there before, it's quite nice.
Good idea. Let's meet there at 7pm.
Gets quite busy so I suppose we should book a table if there are a few of us. Who else is coming?

Team Tequila should be there, I hope...

Fab How many from team tequila? there's quite a lot of you, I seem to remember (although I might have been seeing double by that stage... )

all 8 of us "should" be there...and I use that term loosely.
Inflattablewoman
Pieman
Me
Don't know who else wants to come at the moment, but will update as soon as possible

Yes, I could very well be there. 1900 at café blue? Poccistraße ubahn stop?

We don't have tickets yet...

Says tickets are sold out on the website.

Standing room only tickets are available, for those willing to turn up on the door. I am willing.

Ok, i'll pop along too. Could do with a chuckle.

We need some kind of Team Tequila calling signal... batmans got one

Shall we go Team Tequila style? Either way people will notice us...

have a ticket, but not sure I'm going to be able to make it now. Will know better later today - if you're interested in buying my ticket/place, PM me.

I booked a table at Cafe Blue for 7pm (name: Toytown)
So hopefully will see a few of you there

I am dropping out of this, dont like the idea of queing in this weather.

one name...IAN STONE! WOO!

Yeah, the one comedian of the show was AWESOME. I hope my entire €14 went to him. My jaw was actually hurting from laughing non-stop for so long.

I second that! Ian definately made up for the others, although I suppose they weren't that bad for americans... Kiddin! Wayne Childs was funny

Keith, Ross, u missed a wkd nite, no Qing involved if u got there early enough

Sorry i didnt turn up guys, wasn't feelin too good :s
