Some good acts - Nina Conti is excellent, and Simon Munnery always worth seeing.

Is Nina Conti the one with the monkey?

She is indeed - I first saw her quite a few years ago in the new act comp at Hackney Empire and found her funny but wondered if she could sustain the act beyond it's initial novelty - saw her full length show at Edinburgh last year and she definitely has.

I saw Lucy Porter at our local arts centre on Sunday night - she's a bit annoying actually - the guy with her, Math Brown was better. Going to see Ivan Brackenbury's Hospital Radio on the 4th June - I do love my comedy.
