We went to see the Perrier Comedy Awards show in Brighton last night. It was compared by Adam Hills, and starred Will Hodgson (winner of the 2004 Best newcomer), Sarah Kendall (a nominee), Jackson’s Way (winner of the 2004 Perrier Comedy Award) and finished off with non-perrier nominee Marcus Brigstocke (who was filling in for Reginald D Hunter).
Jackson’s Way and Marcus Brigstocke were excellent, the other two didn’t seem to have the experience to cope with a gig in the Brighton Dome in front of 1000 people. Yet again, I found myself leaving a comedy show feeling that I don’t see half as much live comedy as I should.
