Dan kicks off the night by attempting to coerce more folk to sit at the front. Surprisingly it works and the curly locked gentleman brings his friends as well.	The clean shaven cheeky chappy Geoff Taylor has been replaced by evil goatee sporting Geoff Taylor. Eight minutes of Taylor gold that was a little too near the knuckle for some.


Having spotted a drama teacher in the front row, Nightingale leads the group in a warm up. "Everyone close your eyes and imagine you're in a field... " Workshy. Much like a real drama teacher...	Of course any excuse to get the audience to do a mass display of precision jazz hands. In this case he gets them to jazz hand Kelly Roberts onto the stage...


Which throws Kelly a little and she has a bit of a hard time of it, all part of the learning curve though. Upwards and onwards. We kicked Dan until he cried afterwards.	I begin to wonder if Daniel has a bit of a thing for being dominated...


As part of deciding who gets a card tonight he ends up thumb-wrestling a mysterious girl known only as "Leaky". Naturally she hands Shiny Boy his arse but was more interested in "grabbing his crotch". Nightingale is now 0-2 in onstage matches with the ladies, he's not Andy Kaufman...	Gavin Hudson with Milky Bars, Geoff Taylor consults his lawyers. 3:00


Alistair Walker makes his B.T.F. debut with a couple of truly shocking gags then decides that the best way to recover from this...	...Is by slating the cardholders. Slight error in judgement methinks. Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye. 1:55


Mark Stevens with a strong, understated presence onstage and some cracking lines. Well debuted sir. Beat The Frog	Sahom Das just manages to be slightly more offensive than Geoffers. Takes some skill but the slightly touchy audience found that it burnt their tender little ears. 2:45


Michael Dolan makes his BTF debut a week earlier than he expected and manages a respectable 3:00.	Due to copyright issues we are no longer allowed to show photos of Andy Watson performing onstage. However our trained midget photographer managed to steal this photo before he went on. Beat The Frog


Vince Atta with some material about his heritage that really grabbed my attention. Still raw but I'm looking forward to seeing it develop and the crowd liked it too. Beat The Frog	Our final debutante for the evening Lydia Williams with a fine set with a fiery delivery. Proves that there's more to Harpurhey than fat bigots and a grimy Asda. Not a lot more mind... Beat The Frog


Jason "Not Entertainment" Cook apologises for his crimes against comedy. 0:32*	The final four. Atta tries to garner audience sympathy by posing as an amputee.


Your winner, Lydia, declares her intention to wear the Frog's head as some sort of merkin. Dan says nothing for fear of getting his second s**t-kicking of the night off of a lady.	Lord Perkin leaves his latest acquisition, a chilled beer dispenser, out for people to marvel out. Hannah is unimpressed. "Boys and their toys...".


Geoff was captivated by it's ingenious kryptonite core as a means to keep that Kent boy from stealing his Fosters. * Jason Cook actually Beat The Frog but stood down from the line-up as he had to get home before he violated the terms of his ASBO.
