27-10-03 - Beat the Frog, Best of British Final!! |
|||
| The Frog and Bucket's new act competition culminated in an absolutely storming final compered the genius that is Johnny Vegas! | |||
|
|||
| The man himself takes to the stage, almost sober! | |||
|
|
||
| Dan Nightingale preps the crowd as to the format of the night. | Johnny Vegas shows that he still has the ability to rip the roof off with only a few words. | ||
|
|
||
| The crowd lap it up. | Stew Spaull delivers a string of cerebral deadpan one liners to a solid response. | ||
|
|
||
| Ken Bulger with his slightly psychotic observational comedy. | John Cooper flexes his muscles. | ||
|
|
||
| The hobbit like John Cooper delivers an inspired set of puns, surreal observations and tall tales. A class act. | Johnny returns to the stage a little more wobbly but there was nothing wobbly about the laughs. | ||
|
|
||
| Dave Purdy with an aggressive, animated set that was right on the money. | Barry Dodds with his non pc brand of comedy that went down a treat with the capacity crowd. | ||
|
|
||
| Johnny Meditates | The simply gorgeous Jonathan Mayor bounds onto the stage with a trail of glitter behind him... | ||
|
|
||
| ...and drags taxi driver Chris onto the stage. | And Jon Mayor leaves the stage to a forced standing ovation! Good from Jon. A superb set from him. | ||
|
|
||
| Mike Newall struggled little on Monday but still got a good response. | Chris Brooker with a fiery set that couldn't quite wake up the by then very tired audience. | ||
|
|
||
| Johnny tries to fire a bit of energy back into the room and then checks his notes. | Danny Deegan with an unusually off form set. Still very good, just not as good as he can be. | ||
|
|
||
| Dave Ingram works like a madman to inject some more energy into the room and did a very solid job. | Compares his tiny hands to Big Chris's. | ||
|
|
||
| Big Chris et al. | Dave Purdy and Glitterballs. | ||
|
|
||
| Dan brings Lee onto the stage ready to announce the results. | Lee has the results in his hand. | ||
|
|
||
| And Dave Purdy is announced the winner with Barry Dodds in 2nd and Jon Mayor in third. | Dave Purdy, Johnny Vegas and Lee Martin. | ||
|
|||
|
Johnny "the main man" Vegas, Dave
"BOB" Purdy, Dan "not gay" Nightingale and Lee
"Bon Jovi" Martin.
A superb night was had by all and Dave Purdy was a worthy competitor to be pronounced the first Beat the Frog Beat of British. Big thanks to Johnny Vegas for supporting new comedy talent in Manchester. |
