The Comedians was a popular TV show in the 1970s and the story of how it all came to be is told by original producer Johnny Hamp, and he also introduces video clips of some of the original TV comedians who are no longer with us - such as Bernard Manning, Colin Crompton and Frank Carson.
On stage we have a great laugh-a minute stand up routines from Mick Miller (of recent Royal Variety Show fame...) and Roy Walker (remember him from Catchphrase...?) in the first half and then Duggie Brown and Stan Boardman (don't mention the Fokkers...!) in the second half.
It actually takes quite a lot to make me laugh out loud but I was constantly checking round last night to make sure I wasn't annoying anyone with my mirthful outbursts.
If you remember The Comedians from the TV, then you'll find this show enchanting in a nostalgic sort of way. If you never saw it, here's a great opportunity to catch up on what you have missed.
