Location: Laughterhouse Comedy, Mathew Street, Liverpool

Laughterhouse Comedy now has a new home on Mathew Street! To mark this, a special opening night of comedy was arranged, featuring a number of acts well-known to those who regularly engage in having their funny bones tickled. Each act brought something different, meaning that each act found their own unique way (at times a very unique way) to get the audience laughing.

The night's compere was Chris Cairns, a Liverpool-born comedian who is a regular fixture on the local comedy circuit. Although his role was primarily to introduce each act, he also had plenty of good material to ensure that the crowd was in good spirits before each part of the show would begin. Sitting in the audience, it was frustrating to see certain members of the crowd trying to regularly interrupt the flow of things either by heckling or by talking amongst themselves loud enough to distract from Cairns' own routines. At first, Chris tried to quash the chit-chat with clever one-liners, but after a while it was clearly becoming as tiresome to Chris as it was to the crowd. Nevertheless, as something of a veteran to the world of stand-up comedy, Chris was able to overcome this and, in fact, despite serving as the intermediate between acts, his jokes were amongst the funniest of the night.
