Jeff Green and Special Guests
The Fez Comedy Club
Fringe Marquee, Victoria Park

Award winning comedian and Perrier nominee, Jeff Green, has established himself as one of the most popular comics on the UK circuit. Jeff's razor-sharp observations combined with an abundant natural charm have marked him out as one of the brightest talents on the British comedy scene. As well as numerous TV appearances, including 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' and 'Have I Got News For You',
Jeff has just finished writing and filming the pilot of his next TV show.

Meeting Jeff Green, I asked:

How you feel doing this show and being in a tent again

It is a bit freaky actually, I've done tents before, a long time ago there's a couple in London you can do, Ealing .... You'll have to talk to Richard who's on the show as well. The Ealing Comedy Tent who's run by a company called Bubble, and of course the big one is on the festival site, Glastonbury; Reading is the tent and the Pheonix Festival which is a tent, and now Bath! It's weird, really weird. And of course this one's on a bit of a slant. It's like doing a gig on the Titanic, do you know what I mean!

You always feel a little bit out of kilter, but I am looking forward to it tonight. Sometimes you have it too easy, you know what I mean. All the theatre's are there, and everyone's sat there, and other times it's good to get back and Rock and Roll it. I remember that I recorded one of my first ever TV shows in a tent, we were recording it, the rain... it was in Manchester, and the rain was coming down so hard they couldn't hear me! So I said can you hear me ladies and gentlemen, but they said keep going, keep going but the mike was being picked up but I wouldn't mind some laughs! So what about the Manchester United result then? Oh it was amazing! Are you a follower yourself? I am a follower of football, not Man United particularly, well you know I'm a follower of all sorts of drama, which was what it was...
theatre.. superb. We can't even hope as comedians to reach, no-one has ever left my show going WOW! He was dying and ninety minutes and he got two jokes out. Fifty thousand people coming to see it happen.

The show began, like only a live act, can with the evenings material walking in and out of the marquee! From the outset a running gag about Radstock ( local town) ran from act to act. You just have to part of a show like this...and the chances are you will be if you walk in late. After a great opening by Richard Morton, Andy Robinson took up the challenge. The boy from Birmingham did just fine, turning a heckle into a brilliant monologue. Next we had the walker routine...again a member of the crowd. Lesser comedians would have looked awkward with a situation like this but ... just never lost the plot. And it was funny! Don't wait for these lads to become household names before you put your hand in your pocket to see them...they are excellent value now!

Jeff Green was better than I have ever seen him. If you have only seen him on TV, they you haven't seen a fraction of his talent . The material was crisper than an iceburg lettuce. Observation comedy of the highest order. I just couldn't keep the camera still enough to get a sharp picture.

If you have ever suffered from the syndrome:
'Alchohol may have been a factor' then your not going to get a decent photograph of Jeff on stage either.

This bloke is just funny!
