SUMMARY:Wivenhoe Funny Farm on Tour 6.30pm start!
DESCRIPTION:Booking info at bottom of this post.  \nThursday 27th August 6.30pm to 8.30pm – doors around 5.30pm (but pub open all day so rock up whenever) \nTop notch live stand-up comedy shows from: \nSteve Gribbin \nSteve Gribbin is a diminutive guitar-wielding satirist from Liverpool whose scathing up-to-date comedy songs and sharp\, quirky observations have made him one of the firm favourites of the comedy circuit \n“With more energy than a friendly Tasmanian devil\, this affable and animated comedian tells jokes\, plays the guitar and sings lyrics.” The Scotsman \nSupport from:Joy Carter‘Her comic style certainly makes her one to watch out for’-Daily Mail \n‘Spontaneous\, eccentric and a true individual’-BBC Home Counties \n‘So Brilliant’-Jo Brand. Comedian \n& Louis Green“Louie Green is a natural observational story teller that the crowd instantly warms to. One to watch.” – Rox Central \nMC Hazel Humphreys​ \nPlease read!ALL BOOKINGS NEED TO BE CONFIRMED VIA HAZEL – email – FUNNYFARMCOMEDY@GMAIL.COMWe will be asking for donations to help pay acts for reservations. Recommended £8.50 donation per seat booked but whatever you can manage. \nThis is an outdoor gig at The Horse and Groom Pub\, Wivenhoe starting 6.30pm (pub open all day)\, there is limited seating available. Please book tables in advance.  \nWe will be requesting donations for table reservations in order to help us pay our professional acts. This would be preferable via BACs in advance but we will collect donations on the night too.  \nThe Funny Farm would recommend bringing the following: warm clothes (it may get cold)\, mozzie repellent & waterproof (just in case!) \nThis is a cracking comedy line-up with pro comics and the Funny Farm needs the audience’s help in covering the costs.  \nI’ve been asked by the pub staff to remind people it’s polite to return empty glasses to the bar or the empties tray outside. There – I’ve done it x
