  Hi all...
  
  Thanks for allowing me to join Paul...
  
  NEW-4-DOVER
  
  Don't worry... we're not SPAM... Just wanted to get some thought, ideas, interest & feedback on what you all think about Dover having it's very own professional entertainment company to bring top quality music concerts, stand-up comedians & cabaret to the town. We've just set-up and will be producing various events & functions for public and private to enjoy. Our aim is to bring a little bit of colour to the town for a cost that's easily accessible to all. We want to stop people saying 'There's nothing to do in Dover'... we want to stop the passengers from these fantastic cruise liners from getting on buses and heading off to other local towns to get their nice meals & evening entertainment...
  
  We would love to hear your comments on what you might like to see... Our launch will be in the Maison Dieu (Town Hall) on November 4th with an evening of comedy... a professional compere... a warm-up act and a headliner comedian.
  
  As good people of Dover... What are your thoughts? Will this be good for Dover?
  
  
  We will look at bringing top named acts (Alan Carr/Ed Byrne/Jimmy Carr/Russell Howard...to name but a few) to the town so there could be laughter and quality music on your doorstep...
  
  If you visit our concept website you'll get a better idea of what we're about and what we're up to... I look forward to hearing your comments...
  
  Cheers...
  
  Richard @ JIGintheBOX Dover
  
  Our launch night will be Thursday 4th November - 7.30pm @ Maison Dieu Hall... Cabaret Comedy Night - Tickets just 10.00 - Visit www.wix.com/jiginthebox/jiginthebox/ for more info... Please support New Fresh Live Entertainment in Dover...

  Richard Digence only appeals to the older generation, im not old enough to know who he is. Now the likes of Rod gilbert, jimmy carr, to start off small then who knows we may attract micheal macintire!!!! or other big names.

  Welcome Richard.
  Can this be true? Something for Dover that may bring people here and something for the locals.
  
  It all sounds super mate and I wish you all of the luck in the world and I'm sure you will have the full support of every one on here.
  Well done you.

  Yes welcome Richard and good luck with your venture, I know how hard you worked with Blackfish and getting The Roundhouse used as a venue.
  Also working with some very talented kids we have here in Dover so good luck.

  Melissa, you really do have a thing about us elders!! I like Dara O'Briain, Jimmy Carr, Ed Byrne and Russell Howard - am actually almost addicted to stand up. The grey hairs on our heads (not on mine of course - I am a brilliant blonde...........!) do not muffle our SOH. I am lucky enough to remember Round The Horne and Al Reid (just!), loved Milton Berle and Jack Benny (just!), Lenny Bruce, Peter Sellers, Alexei Sayle and Victoria Wood, Lee Evans and Bob newhart, Bill Cosby, I could go on. Loathed Ben Elton, am sorry bernard Manning is dead because it means I can never now ignore him meaningfully to his face. A fair old mixture there, I think. Funny is funny however old you are and there is room for a huge variety of funny. the first thing I look for in a man (if I were looking - just a joke, dear, if you are looking in!!) is a sense of fun and the means to make me laugh without showing a buttock or two. And I am, despite all these years of denial and wrinkle creams, rather old............not yet pensionable (although even that's changing with this coalition) but still old-ish. On the outside - on the inside I am still skipping about a bit!

  Oh dear Bern!!
  
  I can remember all the early ones you mentioned plus others like Ted Ray, Jimmy Edwards and Charlie Chester. Round The Horne was the best of the lot as far as I am concerned.
  
  Did anyone else find www.wix.com/jiginthebox/jiginthebox/ rather hard to read. I had to enlarge the script to read it, large page, small graphice etc. These old eyes I suppose.

  i remember "round the horne", one of my favourite characters was an australian woman that was stamping down on filth in our country.
  
  she was going through the london telephone directory picking out names like "i dunnit" etc".
  the sketch ended with her looking at kenneth horne and asking what his name was.

  Love that show - it still makes me laugh. My favourite du jour is the Now Show, which has the ability to make me bark................

  Howard...
  
  You are thinking of the character played by Betty Marsden but I cannot think of her name.

  Richard, great news, thanks.
  
  Howard, Jan I think her name was Judy or Julie Coolibar, or something very like that.

  Congratulations and Good Luck Richard.
  
  If you have anything - poster-wise you'd like me to send round to those on my email address groups, please send it to me.
  
  Are you still part of the Jazz Police/Rags 2 Riches ?

  I reconised from your list Bern Ben Elton, Lee Evans . I love the mock the week crew , i seriously dont have a problem with elders but do believe a big town hall event should appeal to EVERYONE i wouldnt pay to see an out of date z list comedian who is still chasing his five minutes of fame. Sorry
