Join us this Monday at Leicester Square Theatre
Deciding on who should make it through to the semi-finals has been both ”ha ha” hilarious and ”ha ha” hard. Never fear, the standard of the comics far exceeds the attempt at a feeble joke I’ve just made there. But bad puns aside, pouring over the heat tapes for the past three days, holed up on a sofa like daytime TV presenters, has indeed been just that. You’ve made us cry with laughter all over again. And cry because we had some very difficult decisions to make. And cry because we’re nearing the end of the competition. And cry because The X Factor is starting up again. And cry because it’s September and all the house spiders are scuttling in (ok that’s just me) and cry because I really can’t write a funny gag into this already laborious sentence. (Help me girls!) So.. if you’re still there? I promise you the semi-final line-up is going to be an exceptionally funny night. And one that is mixing more stand-up and fantastic character acts than ever before. We can’t wait. Join us on Monday night at the Leicester Square Theatre.
