A big thanks to Robert for getting everyone together for the Comedy night last night - it was a hit. I've been to a lot of these shows and last nights was a goodun. The headliner Tamika Campbell was fantastic with her sassy, loud and righteous routine and there were some surprises from newcomers like Fred Stabe with his stuffed superman pants. Casey "I don't drive with my Mom" James was on top form, confident, strident and cheeky, and James Allan's three bags joke is a keeper. Johnny was also on top form pulling out some crackers with his off the cuff remarks. Being back at Fiddlers just adds to the atmosphere - it feels like a real, in yer face stand-up show again. The next show is on May 13th and I advise anyone with even the tiniest ounce of a sense of humour - to come along, meet some expats and have a really good laugh. See you all in May - table near the front....
"Inselaffe"
Rhine Magazine, December 2008
Well are you? Living in a foreign country can be depressing sometimes, especially when you're still getting to grips with the language, the first thing to suffer is often your sense of humour.
So if you want to kick-start your funny bone get down to Fiddlers in Bonn on December 18th for a Christmas Stand-up bonanza that will have you laughing right through to the New Year.
Johnny Hollywood's "Comedy meets Christmas Music Show" will be serving up the best comic talent from all over Europe - plus live music, cabaret and loads more besides! Not only is Johnny a regular contributor to Rhine Online, he's also the comic impresario responsible for bringing English language stand-up to the Rhine region. He started off in 2003 with an English language line-up for the RTL Comedy Festival and since that first sell-out gig he's never looked back.
The shows have changed venue in Cologne three times: from the cosy Flanagans to the showy Hard Rock Cafe, and now to one of Cologne's best comedy venues, The Alter Wartesaal. The Bonn show is also attracting a lot of attention down at the superb Fiddlers Irish Pub. The next Cologne show will be in March 2008, after the holidays and carneval.
