WELCOME

This blog will give you information about the comedy night held on the first Tuesday of every month. The venue is The Fox & Grapes pub in Fox Street, Preston and is easily accessible by public transport or car. Best of all, admission is absolutely FREE.

The event is compered by MC Alan Donegan (pictured)



We will post pictures of previous evenings as well as details of forthcoming acts. Copyright permitting we may even post short video clips of the performers in full flow.

It would be really helpful if you attend a performance for you to let us know what you thought about the comedians, the organisation, the atmosphere, the venue - even the beer!

July 1st Comedy Night

Don't forget that tomorrow night is Comedy Night at the Fox and Grapes. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Dave Twentyman will be unable to perform but never fear; MC Alan has managed to secure the services of a superb substitute in the shape of Jay Ryan.
Jay Ryan stepped into the ring during 2005 and has already proved himself to be a knockout hit with audiences, promoters and fellow comedians alike. Never pulling a punch, Jay's rock solid brand of observational, self-depreciating and no nonsence comedy will hit you square between the eyes, leaving you swooning and ready for another beating as soon as possible. A unique addition to the circuit, Jay is a comic who can float like a bee and sting like a butterfly.

"If you get a chance to see Jay take it now! Great material delivered in a easygoing manner that is just fantastic. He never fails to impress. He has such a great way about him on stage, a joy to watch. Going all the way to the top for sure!" - Paula Harrington, Tongue in cheek comedy.
Three time slimmer of the week award, Slimming World, Sefton park Conservative club 2005.

We also still have headliner Gary Delaney, who is fantastic.


Gary Delaney is a razor sharp one-liner comedian, who is widely regarded as being the most quotable comic on the circuit. But the high quantity of stand out gags leaves the audience struggling to remember them all.

Gary regularly plays all the big clubs including The Comedy Store, Jongleurs, Komedia, Glee, Rawhide, The Frog and Bucket, Hyena, Baby Blue, The Stand, Comedy Café, Lee Hurst's Backyard, Banana Cabaret and at clubs throughout the UK.

Gary co-writes Ivan Brackenbury's Hospital Radio Roadshow which was nominated for the If.Comedy award in 2007, and will be familiar to those of you who attended last month's triumphant birthday party. Gary will soon be appearing on Paramount's 'Comedy Blue'.

"Verges on the genius" - Chortle

"The man Jimmy Carr tries to be" - BBC Online

It will be great to see as many of you there as possible. Let's carry on the brilliant atmosphere from last month's show.
