Went to the Lone Star Comedy 1 night at Lanterns, and it was ALRIGHT! Wasn't quite the show that was advertised, but as an added bonus we got in at a discount, so it all pans out. This was a civil service special, worked out a fiver each on booking a table of 8, you might want to ask about that.
The support act was Dave Dynamite, a chav character with an annoying voice, but funny enough. A bit like Ricky Grover but less hard.
There was no open mic spot this time, this is probably good, this spot can be excruciating. So, we had more drinking and chatting time and no enthusiastic amateur trying things out on us.
The headliner wasn't Matt Welcome as advertised but Matt Kirshen, a fresh faced young comic who got the audience on his side by SHOCK POWER - he looks about eleven, you wouldn't expect him to say those things. Good work feller!
The new MC is called Dan, like the last one, but he's not as good 2. Maybe he's a grower. Next comedy event is on the 18th of Feb, we'll maybe see you there at the one after that.

This is my site The Folkestone Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first moved here sometime in '04. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places + things, and I hear it was a handy resource for others who were moving here. Now Iʼve moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesnʼt get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from the name of a pretend paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE arenʼt they? Do contact me if you have something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
