ALEX HORNE (we had alex booked for the literary festival gig last september, but he cancelled because he was filming the wkd adverts which are currently on tv! we spoke to him on tuesday and he was still on then so hopefully it's all go for saturday! he tells amazingly constructed jokes with a brilliant underlining of silliness, wait for some great wordplay and fun audience participation! "a quick witted and genial comedian" - THE INDEPENDENT)
MERYL O'ROURKE (i haven't seen meryl before, but have heard she's really good. her cv boasts a friendly demeanour and various radio 4 writing credits so what can go wrong?!? "a well-spoken but confessedly insecure thirtysomething who chats easily and openly to her audience" - CHORTLE)
JIM GRANT (filling the open spot for the evening, jim is a great act based in eastbourne who comperes several of his own gigs in that region. not really an open spot comedian then? he's great!)
MC DAVE WARD (picking up the baton is our second resident compere, known as one of the greatest in the country. the number of times we've requested him back, it seems we agree!)
This is my website The FG that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately '04. I had been a frequent visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for best venues and things, + I know it was a handy resource for those who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. I am not Gerald BTW, this comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
