March 2006 - News from the Wivenhoe Funny Farm Comedy Club

February's comedy county face-off between Essex and Suffolk comedians at Wivenhoe Funny Farm ended with a win for Essex, although some tactical voting may have decided the closely run contest - with Essex comedians receiving 137 points from the audience and the Suffolk team getting 125. 

Compere Alexis Dubus went as far as to rearrange the letters FUNNY FARM into "UNFAIR" (by creating his own "I"). 

Audience and comics alike had a great time at the event, with friendly banter between the two teams and Essex and Suffolk fans from the start. 

The highest scoring comic was Essex's Gerry Daly with 77 points (only 3 more than Suffolk's Jaik Campbell). 

The co-organiser of the event, Toby Edwards (a Suffolk buoy originally) is organising a rematch on the rather more friendly territory of the Fire and Ice Bar in Ipswich Town centre on 21st March.

The next Wivenhoe Funny Farm is on 30th March 2006 at Wivenhoe Town football clubhouse and features Irish comedienne Mary Bourke with support from Robin Cousins, Griff Griffiths and Hazel Humphreys with MC Tony Cowards. Doors open 7pm, comedy starts 8pm, £5 on door (£3.50 concessions, £4 to Wivenhoe FC members) Hazel Humphreys to take part in the BBC's the Weakest Link next Friday 17th March.
