Hello comedy fans..iam like an excited kitten !
I have been involved in comedy for twenty years plus in some form or another and i now have an opportunity to build, operate and own "Essex's only purpose built comedy club "
What are peoples thoughts on a large town having a club with a capacity of 200 ish producing shows three/ four times a week ?
