Following a triumphant show on 31st May The Lone Star Comedy Club returns to the Tower Theatre on North Road at Shorncliffe Garrsion in Cheriton. The line up for the new show will be EARL OKIN, JAMES SHERWOOD, compere MATT PRICE and a newcomer.
Earl was possibly one of the funniest men I have ever seen. His talents are endless - CHORTLE
EARL OKIN is one of those rare performers..... a true original!!! Genuinely versatile, his talents range from that of a fine Singer-Songwriter, (in styles ranging from chart orientated tracks to the classiest of Jazz-Standards, via authentic Bossa-Novas), to that of Pianist, Guitarist, world class Jazz-Singer, as well as his unique standing as ' Vocal Trumpeter, Trombonist and Clarinetist'.
Added to all of this is his Humour, sophisticated and witty enough to have made him perhaps the leading music & Comedy act on the unforgiving London Alternative Comedy Circuit!
Apart from appearances on British shows too numerous to mention, Earl has appeared at all the major London venues including The Royal Albert Hall, The Royal Festival Hall, The London Palladium, Wembley Arena, The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and The Barbican.
Earl has appeared alongside everyone from Paul McCartney and Van Morrison to Benny Carter, Stephane Grappelli and Cleo Laine. He has entertained the Queen and Princess Margaret.
Finally his one man show has made his name a legend at the amazing Edinburgh International Festival and venues literally around the world. He has been described as a cross between Harry Connick Jr. and Victor Borge, but there is really only one... Earl Okin
Earl has toured the show that features all aspects of his talent throughout the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Switzerland & Russia etc.
Finally of course, Earl Okin's name is legendary at the Edinburgh International Festival. In year 2000 he completed his 18th full (successful) year reaching an unprecedented 500 performances and gaining a place in the Guinness Book Of Records!
James Sherwood. Clever, original, but most of all, very very funny - CHORTLE
JAMES SHERWOOD made his name in topical comedy, writing one-liners for commercial radio stations. During the 2005 general election campaign, his political material appeared on BBC Radio 1, 2 and 4. He has also written for Private Eye and is a frequent studio pundit on the Sky News Paper Review.
He is also a musician, mainly a classical singer, but also a pianist, composer and arranger. His vocal arrangement of the University Challenge theme tune featured in a BBC2 documentary about the tv quiz. He is also a regular choral singer on the London church scene, despite not being a Christian – a contradiction he explored in his 2006 solo Edinburgh festival debut "I Know What You did Last Sunday".
In his pre-comedy career in public relations, James’ campaigns included the UK launch of the Blackberry handheld email device.
TRIVIA: His great grandfather (also James Sherwood) scored the only goal in the 1914 Amateur FA cup Final.
In 2004, he was runner up in both the BBC New Comedy Awards and the Holsten Pils/FHM comedy competition.
He is known for his material on topical subjects, and religion.
Matt Price. The man is a tremendous, original comic - CHORTLE
Having given up a short but colourful career in boxing, Cornish-born Cardiff-resident MATT PRICE is resident MC at Cardiff’s award-winning Yellow Kangaroo Comedy Club and the famous Wharf Comedy Club.
He has perfected the art of controlling a rowdy crowd, and is now becoming a much sought-after support act and compere on the national circuit.
Matt’s real skill is in taking his audience on numerous different journeys through the course of his performance. He is very much a unique stage presence and his poignant, heartbreaking and brutally funny stories are fast becoming a must-have addition to bills around the nation.
He is officially UK’s first New Deal Comedian. Having been on the dole for two years, he decided to make his hobby his profession, applied for New Deal support and was accepted! This set of circumstances allows Matt yet another unique perspective on his life and profession, and will surely serve to cement his position as one of the most promising newcomers around.
Now the home of FHODS, the Tower Theatre is currently the town’s best-kept secret and is the old Garrison Church at the Shorncliffe barracks. There are about 300 seats in the auditorium and a full bar service. Drinks will be available before the show starts, in the interval and afterwards. Don’t be put off making the effort – there’s ample FREE parking and you’ll love it when you get there! Take a look at the website – www.towertheatrefolkestone.co.uk – for a map and further details.
Tickets are £8 each and available online at www.lonestarcomedy.co.uk or by contacting Richard on 07810 864228. Doors open at 7.30pm, with the show starting at 8.30pm.

World cup, a bit of a tense game, we just about got there in the end. There are some bad people out there:
An internet company which sold fake World Cup tickets to children may have made more than £60,000 in the scam.
Nearly 400 schoolchildren from across the UK were told they had tickets as part of a £410-a-head tour to Germany.
Saw that yesterday on TV, a school in Portsmouth got whupped by it, but apparenly Portsmouth FC have guaranteed them tickets and paid for their return, nice!
And in more of yesterday's news today, oh dear Lister, crack cocaine is one thing, but a chauffeur driven [em]Skoda[/em]?
Hmm, what about me, and my life? Nothing to report today except Happy Birthday Mum. The office is quiet (almost too damned quiet), could be post football hangovers.
Done some more playing with Picasa, and it's great that using it to add descriptions and tags it updates the actual EXIF data within the image, so wherever I transfer the image too in future it'll always maintain my description, my tags, and the latitude / longitude I assigned to the pic. I had been adding this info only in flickr.com and was a bit bothered that if I moved my pics away from there I'd lose all that meta-data. Now, what to do with the 2000+ pictures I already uploaded?

Getting there with my gigography now, a list of every gig I've been to, from 1987 up to last year. It's a natural progression from my Best Gigs Ever post. Well that's the theory, but there's A LOT missing. I have chucked in details from the big bag of old gig tickets that I've had since I've been in London, but there's not much from before that - got to get a box of old concert tickets and things from Mum and Dad's loft. Also got a bundle of gaps regarding bands seen at festivals, they'll probably stay missing, it's so hard to remember, and there's a stack missing where I've lost tickets or never had them, most of the guestlist actions during my NME and Popex years and that. SO, if you were at a gig, and so was I, and you can remember anything about it please post details up here to remind me... Yeah I know it's a bit nerdy, let's let that slide though, I'm having fun remembering these things. At least I've not started scanning the tickets in yet. That's coming later...
My first gig was in 1987, from then until 1990 it was mostly rock, either around Portsmouth or on trips up to London. Then in 1991 things got more indie, and in 1994 things really seemed to kick off. In 1996 I moved to London (first Waterloo, then Putney in 1998, Ealing in 1999, New Cross in 2000, and Stoke Newington in 2003) and in 2005 I moved back out again, to Folkestone (so that's where the list slows down again). Click on one of those years to see the gigs from that year, though you're more likely to have arrived at those pages than this by googling for gigography...
LOTS missing, it's surprising how many gigs I remember I can find no mention of online. Lots of Under Neath What, Atom Seed and David Devant (favourite bands of various times) to hopefully be unearthed, and what of the classic Supergrass at South Parade Pier? It's documented nowhere. This could turn into an valuable archive...
