» Review of the week: Comic Boom

A cracking way to come back from the Christmas dulling excess was the sharp and energetic line-up introduced by new Boom compere Seann Walsh. Walsh was firing on all cylinders, building up the acts as ‘lovely friends‘, setting us to embrace them and still delivering bang-on material of his own. The entire line-up of seven acts brought a variety of excellent ways to tickle the funnybone, from Kerry Herbert’s acidic slap of a giggle to Brian Gittens’ anarchic hysteria. Headliner Zoe Lyons demonstrated just why she received Best Joke Of Edinburgh Festival last year, as well as an if.comedy Best Newcomer nominee the year before. Not a comedy-blank fired an an encore demanded was testament to the success of the evening. More please!

» 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

» Artists Open Houses

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 love nothing better than browsing and buying arts and crafts, and there is so much going on throughout May that we’ve made it easier by bringing the Artists Open Houses to you! 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.
