Our last gig was on Thursday 17th November. Due to the lurgy going round, there was a slightly lower turnout than on the first night, but that didn't stop the fun. 

As a fundraising stunt for Children in Need, Hazel Humphreys was asked to train BBC radio Essex DJ Dave Monk (who confessed to being incapable of telling a joke) to perform stand-up on the same night at the Funny Farm. 

Despite less than 30 minutes training live on air on Thursday, Dave took to the stage and performed 3 and a half minutes that night to an excellent reception. We raised £60 on the night, and the next morning BBC Radio Essex raised an extra £616 by getting listeners to pledge to hear snatches of Dave's performance.

Julia Boyle from the Football Club served her delicious and highly popular home made chilli during the intervals. Only £2 a bowl.

Our next gig is on the Thursday 22nd December and features the acclaimed deaf comedian Steve Day ("revelatory and very funny" - The Guardian) Joint comperes for the evening will be Hazel Humphreys AND Toby Cowards - and there will be lots of festive fun! Support acts to be confirmed.
