MCF09 Competition: Lady Garden/Idiots of Ants tickets up for grabs!

We've got together with Multitude Media to offer one lucky punter a pair of tickets to see Lady Garden, LOL! Manchester's Best new act winner last year, & Idiots of Ants at their joint sketch show extravaganza taking place at the Comedy Store in Manchester on Tuesday 20th October. Both the Ladies and the Gents of the live sketch show world have had amazing success in their own right at the Edinburgh Fringe this year so don't expect to see them perform together too much as i'm sure they will be touring in futute in their own respective groups.

All you need to do to get your hands on these tickets is to drop us an email at manchester@thelolnetwork.com with "LADYGARDEN/IDIOTS GIVEAWAY" in the Subject Heading before Midday on Sunday 18th October. We will pick a winner and announce them on here at 5pm that day. It's that easy!

Richard Herring - Hitler Moustache
The Frog and Bucket / 8.15pm (£9 / £8)

Al Pitcher’s Picture Show
The Dancehouse / 8pm (£12 / £10)
Every day we see things we’ve never seen before, things that strike us as odd or beautiful. Not Al Pitcher. His mind is constantly twisting, flipping and distorting what he sees, igniting the mundane, into a truly unique and hilarious one-off show.
