Where: 
King's Lynn Arts Centre
Comments: 
A bit of a weird show due to the apathy of the West Norfolk public, only 30-40 people turned out on a cold Sunday night to the show, a shame really because they missed a treat. Alex Horne is a warm, engaging "safe" comedian who very rarely swears (and gives you advance warning when he does) yet his gentle ramble through his attempts to get a word into the dictionary is a show that deserves more than King's Lynn was prepared to give him. Full marks however to Alex who just got on with it despite the fact that it was inevitably costing him honk to put the show on. The technical hitches when he accidentally switched off his laptop (should have used a Macbook - they restart quicker) and the extraordinary consumption of microphones, he broke two, added to the amusement of the sparse but dedicated audience.
The Audience: 
was so small that by the end of the show Alex had spoken to most of us and knew nearly all of us by name.
Food & Drink: 
KL Arts Centre has a village hall feel, staff wander along the side of the stalls at the interval with waste paper baskets for empty ice-cream cartons! Unfortunately due to an FPO imposed diet I was unable to sample the wares on this occasion.
It Made Me Think...: 
Were you aware that Natasha Kaplinski is 6 foot 2 inches tall?
