Like your comedy delivered Drunk or Sober? Then this could be up your street.
Rarely a night of comedy comes along that captures the imagination of punters and puts them in the passenger seat for one hell of a ride. Well, with this night that is definately guarnteed!
Drunk & Sober, which takes place tomorrow night (Friday 11th September @ 8.30pm - Free Entry) Upstairs @ the Lass O'Gowrie on Charles Street, which is near the BBC. It pits two of Manchester Comedy's most belligerent malcontents up against each other to argue over a selection of hot topics of the day and suggestions from the audience with only one rule: One drinks to excess the other remains sober. One is a former City Life comedian of the year and the other is the current holder of that title. In the Sober corner we have the outthere humour of Seymour Mace. In the drinking corner is one of the best comedians for telling it like it is: Eddie Hoo.
In a Highlander stylee there can be only one. Winner that is. Thats right, its a competition of sorts and the audience gets decide who wins the contest awarding points for persuasion and entertainment.
This show is based on a feature from Eddie's 'Not Part Of' show in July, so if you like your comedy uncompromising and full-on then this really is for you.
May the best man win - Standing or otherwise.
