A minor failure and a Live indoor first!

Unofficial Opening is not an exact science and is dependent on the occasional trigger fingers of untried snappers. Hence I only have one photo of my attempt to unofficially open The Langford New Comedian Of The Year on Friday night (Not the actual winner, obviously - that would be rude). This wasn't the only trial of the evening but was probably the least taxing:

The lovely Steve just couldn't seem to get one of my openers into the picture (I refuse to accept responsibility for my errant arm). I was also not about to punch the other one, honest.

Since I couldn't get both of the ribbon holders in the shot it of course means that I cannot say I successfully  opened the Langford New Comedian Of The Year...

...I was also upset that Adam Ant had failed to make it down there. I put it down to the constraints of the latest budget - fiscal measures affect pop stars too! I kept my fingers crossed that he would show up the next night, however as I had another opportunity over the weekend to put it right, in the shape of Dolly's House Party - a burlesque and comedy show I put on in my mate's front room. It's also my first LIVE opening, in that it was recorded on video as well as in photo form. Please excuse the two naughty words in it (i got a bit "Wayne Rooney") and enjoy!
