So what happened with the Clown Chowder venue, David? Did you suffer as part of a council crackdown on lap-dancing clubs?

"They came, they laughed but they didn't spend £1.2k behind the bar".
Thus ended our tenure on Greek Street. Clown Chowder will be back though. Back like vertebrae.

Ah, well maybe you should have lap dancers on the bill then? Or you and Stott performing an oiled BDSM sex show?
Quote: Tim Walker @ March 26 2010, 10:22 AM GMTOr you and Stott performing an oiled BDSM sex show?
I'm afraid oil is beyond our means. Tesco value margarine maybe?

Actually, don't worry, I believe the Stott comes pre-lubricated.

"I can't believe it's not Matt Stott!"

Did you give table service? Or enough breaks for people to get drinks?

Or deal coke in the toilets?

Yeah, we did all that, but to make their minimum numbers we'd need 120 people to show up and spend a tenner each. On a Sunday afternoon. If we'd have snagged Stewart Lee even I doubt we'd have made that sort of luchre.
I say, this Bernal kid is gorgeous! Young girls are going to be licking his poster well before long.

Shame, you were in a prime location though. Good luck with the search for a new place though!

You should go into promotions and marketing, Ellie. You'd be good at it.

Yikes! Good luck.
Quote: sglen @ March 26 2010, 5:59 AM GMTHas this been cut now? Wasn't advertised this year
It's not running as a full year due to the cost of doing so, but they do hope to bring it back.
Quote: Dolly Dagger @ March 26 2010, 9:16 AM GMTWas Jdubya (John Warburton) from that intake?
No, he was in last year's group.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ March 26 2010, 9:21 AM GMTIs this the thing that Mikey J booked tickets and a hotel for, assuming he was probably going to be picked? Or something??
Oh, I really hope so.
