I shan't pretend that I'll ever go, but well done.
Clown Chowder: new stand-up comedy gig Page 3
Sounds like a good venue for our very own Mr Banks.

In 1961, someone, somewhere may have sent a letter to Peter Cook:
Congratulations, Mr Cocky, and here's wishing you the very best with this exciting venture. Not completely sold on the name, to be honest though... ('The Establishment', not yours, though you might want to re-think that too.)

Somebody pointed out that Comedy Roast might be a more appropriate name, given the nature of the gig. I just yelled and hurled a spoon at her, but then that's the way I resolve all my arguments.
Are guide dogs permitted on the premises, David?
What's the food like, entry fee, menu prices etc? They don't seem to have the info on the bar website.

That stuff's not important if it's entertaining enough... what is the food like, entry fee, menu prices etc?

Well the truth is that if he gives me a gig he won't need good luck.

That's already a thing in America though isn't it? I'm sure I've heard of that as a title for some show.

I remember seeing William Shatner roasted once.

Yes, but 'roast' isn't meant to mean 'roast dinner' in that instance. This would be a play on the expression 'comedy roast'. Doofus.

I totally didn't get that, you are, like, so totally clever and stuff.

I've tried to avoid any confusion over the expression 'roast' ever since that disappointing Sunday visit to Hugh Hefner's compound.
Maybe add the word 'potato' at the end to avoid any confusion.
Congratulations Mr Bussell, unfortunatly it's too far for me to commute on a Sunday, but I would go if I were in London and all that.
