» Review – Smorgasbord: Stand Up Comedy by The Sea

‘Smorgasbord Stand Up’ was exactly that, a delectable laughing platter of four very different acts all contributing to produce a great night of entertainment in the delightful Nordic setting of The Northern Lights Bar. The two headliners, sharp and witty Roger Mursick and the nerdy oddball Ismo Leikola produced high quality comedy, ably assisted by pun-master Dan Hoy and the quirky Simon Douglas. Like a Nordic ‘Hairy Biker’, Ismo certainly benefited from a ‘home’ crowd. However, like the very likable US-based Mursick, their humour would work in any club. I certainly hope all four acts will be back in Brighton soon.

    I thought Roger Mursick was one of the smartest, funniest comedians I’ve seen in ions. He should be back in England soon – if promoters know what they’re doing.

» 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
