Lab Coats At The Ready

The final show of the evening was 'The Experiment' in which our hosts - Asher Treleaven (real-world Terry Gilliam animation), Geraldine Hickey and Oliver Clarke - use the established scientific methodology of inverse audience response to determine if a small dog is more entertaining than a string of comedians.
Last night's comedians were Anne Edmonds, Claire Hooper, Simon Keck and Pat Burtscher. All competing against two small dogs one of which was wearing a bumble-bee balaclava which made it look like a Richmond supporter (yes, I had to look that up too).
The dogs won.
The line-up for this show is different each night and last night was the first night on which they had managed to get any dogs, but it's definitely worth it. The show runs until October 5th and there are no performances on Mondays, so go along and laugh yourself silly. Oh - and if you're thinking of being a smart-arse and heckling, it would seem that Asher is only too happy to verbally spar you into submission. You have been warned.
