Quote: Matthew Stott @ November 30 2009, 12:27 PM GMTI think entry is free, just expecting you to buy food and boooooze.
Sorry, meant to answer that. Yes, entry is free. There will be food but you aren't obliged to buy any. As for exactly what's being served for lunch, right now I can't say but I'll be sure to let you know whether or not Yorkshire puddings are on the menu.
Dogs for the blind are not welcome as Clown Chowder has no intention of condoning slavery.

If the food's bad, you can always throw it at Bussell. (God, I hope I get some really big and heavy roast potatoes, I can throw those like baseballs)
'Clown Chowder?! More like...um...Shit Chowder!'
Yes, that'll work. Really looking forward to your gigs now.

I did a gig a while ago called Comedy Coconut Shy where the audience were encouraged to throw stuffed toys at acts they didn't like. Just in case, I took a house brick with me. A house brick I still own.
Thanks for the info. Sounds good. 
Seeing it's an afternoon gig, is it suitable for children?

I have to be honest and say probably not. I wouldn't feel comfortable asking a comic to censor their act - daytime or no. Also, kids smell like poo.

Oooh, get Lenny Bruce here!

Wait, how did you know my plan was to get drunk on stage, play the bongos and racially lambaste the audience (in my stupor forgetting to make said provocation an insightful point about racial stereotyping)?

Well unless you've changed your set in the last ten years, David, it's a given.

Screw you, honkey!

Are you still doing the "kill whitey" gags as well, Mr Bussell? 
Oh, and a bit of advice, the Chris Rock "N*ggers" routine only really works if you are black. And American. And from 'The Projects'. When you come on stage in a cravat, holding a sherry glass, it loses its credibility.

I'm not an idiot, Tim! Obviously when I crib from Chris Rock's repertoire I do it in blackface.

Occasionally my butler comes on and says something inappropriate, causing me to snort my cognac onto an elderly Colonel.
A reminder that the Clown Chowder premiere is going to be happening next Sunday 17th January and it would be fantastic to see a heathy turnout from the BCG.
Go here for details on the first event and to RSVP.
It's going to be more exciting than a man juggling midgets who are juggling chainsaws. Flaming chainsaws!
