Stand-up comedy at its best

Well we did, for a start: Stand-up is now one of the most popular forms of live entertainment in the UK and is rapidly gaining a hold over here. LOL have staged eight previous stand-up evenings in Malta and on September 27 and 28 at the Oracle Conference Centre, at the Dolmen Resort Hotel in Qawra, they will stage episode nine of the XFM Stand-Up Comedy Show.
As with previous shows, they will present three very different comics. This time they are all male. Canadian comedian Pete Johansson has done the lot, from appearing in movies to sets at London’s Comedy Store and Jongleurs. He is described as: “Awesomely funny, irreverent, brilliant and smooth, like fine jazz.”
Also on the bill is London comic Ian Stone. He is wont to mine the depths of Jewish humour, of which there is plenty to mine. He has performed at the prestigious Edinburgh Festival Fringe as well as comedy festivals all over the globe.
The third comedian on the bill is Silky, a Liverpudlian in exile, who has also plied his trade in some of the far-flung bastions of comedy around the world.
This looks like one to mark in the diary.
