» Pitcher this

Andrew Kay finds the seafront bar, Pitcher & Piano, hits just the right note

I never cease to be amazed by the number of new bars and restaurants that this city can accommodate, and equally by the places in which they appear. How many banks now serve wine? How many serve food? Show a developer a space and it would appear that the first option is to turn it into some sort of food joint. Mad, really, as the catering business is amongst the hardest to get right and make profitable. And neither bars or restaurants come without a great deal of work and specialist knowledge.

» Energetic comedy?

Victoria Nangle contemplates the energy that goes into comedy and how much she has to give

The Fringe is over! Wasn’t it fun? And I surprised myself by taking part and getting a gig to perform in, as well as the 20 odd shows I went to see for myself. So nice to feel involved from all sides. An old doozie came up while the running order for the show I was in was being cemented. The compere turned to all us new act comics sitting in the holding pen, and asked us how much energy we had.
It’s alright, she wasn’t about to ask for 20 press-ups. In ordering a well placed line-up it’s important to know how much energy an act brings to the stage with their performance. Will they be swinging from the chandeliers in an homage to Lee Evans with their high energy, or deadpan to the world like Jack Dee.

» Geoff Norcott interview

Victoria Nangle chats to comic, TV presenter, radio writer, sports fan and romantic Geoff Norcott


Geoff Norcott is watching the cricket. He’s at the England Versus West Indies Test Match and he’s taken five minutes out to talk to me. But, as he admits himself, “To be fair it‘s cricket, so we could talk for five minutes and still nothing might have happened.” He’s prepared to take the gamble of being distracted by me. So what’s this new Edinburgh show all about? Read the rest of this article »

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk

AOH Special: It’s Festival time in Brighton & Hove, which means the Artists Open Houses have opened their doors for another year! Maps of all the trails can be picked up across the city.

We have 11 special programmes, featuring artists in their own houses. So here’s your chance to go ‘through the keyhole’ so to speak as we visit the artists in their own environment.
