Awards ceremonies are traditionally an end of year thing…but the UK comedy circuit works a bit differently to that as the Chortle comedy awards kick off with Australian stand-up comedian Tim Minchin leading the nominations for the 2011 Chortle Awards in association with Universal. Heading the pack with 3 comedy award nominations including Best Tour, Best DVD and Best Musical and Variety Act, putting the talented Aussie comedian up against established names such as Bill Bailey to The Boy With Tape On His Face, a unique visual comedy act who’s profile raised significantly during the 2010 Edinburgh Comedy Festival.
Matt Lucas and David Walliams have received praise from Jim Davidson for their new comedy tv show Come Fly With Me. ‘We are a multi-racial society and we should celebrate the fact.’ Davidson adds that despite some critism of the programme that the comedians are racist to ‘black-up’ to play characters such as Taaj & Precious, ‘they are showing the characters you would expect to see at an airport and that includes people like Precious and Taaj. Wouldn’t just showing white characters at the airport be more racist?’. The praise from Davidson perhaps simply highlights a move back to common sense and away from political correctness which at times has strangled comedy, whether it’s a comedy sitcom or live stand-up comedy show.

The Comedy Club Norwich @
The Norfolk Health & Racquets Club - Esporta
Here’s a word from the venue on their Comedy Club night; “Hi Andrew, I would say after all your hard work that the Comedy Club was a success. [ad#co-1]
We had about 125 people attend, what the mix of non-members against members was I don’t know. I have spoken to alot of the folks who attended and the feedback was great. The 3 comics were most importantly funny and had great crowd interaction, Miles Crawford was excellent! Nice work on sending me an Australian, he was great too. Miles who was the compere was very helpful and created a great atmosphere for all.
Many thanks,

Comedy Gossip
Fun and Laughs that won’t break the bank!
Not Going Out on TV anymore: The BBC has axed Lee Mack sitcom Not Going Out after three series. The show, largely seen as an attempt to revive the traditional studio-based sitcom, regularly attracted audiences of three to four million. One more episode of the show – which is produced by Avalon Television and also stars Tim Vine, Sally Bretton and Miranda Hart - has yet to air, and the BBC may put it out as a Christmas special.
Red Dwarf stars to shine bright once again: Red Dwarf star Chris Barrie says the one-ff 2 part Easter special could lead to a new series. Barrie shed light on the comeback with the rest of the cast hoping the new episodes for Dave will spark a new lease of life for the cult comedy – a decade after it finished its BBC Two run. Barrie told The Sun: ‘We all think this could be the start of something big - perhaps a new mini-series, a film or just a series. None of us has ever closed the door on Red Dwarf.’
