I recently enjoyed your new comedy club night in Rainham and thought it was fantastic. I had never before thought about going to a comedy club of any kind but thought these comedians were fantastic.
The Comedy Club is living proof that not all comedians on the ‘aternative’ circuit have to resort to over use of bad language and blue humour. The compere Windsor was brilliant and after that i knew i was going to have a great night.
Thank you kindly.

The rise of the new comedy circuit with competitions like Funny Business can take this industry one way or the other. Shows like X-Factor have really given the fast upcoming names in the music competitions a bad name so i hope these acts can avoid this.
I think the Comedy Club will do fine though. The acts coming through the competition are real, genuine people who i think the public will really buy in to. I’ll be watching keenly to see what Kevin and Rod achieve.

Hi Kev,
Yeah count me in. This Comedy Club’s far better than that other one in [removed], think that’s run by a one man band. Can’t put my mobile on here but Danny has my new number.
Cheers mate.
