Board Meeting: Pete Firman

23 Aug 2010

Aww...look how nice Pete Firman is. He's only gone and starred out the sweary word on his board so we don't get offended. Thank fuck. He's also been very sensible and named his show in fine Ronseal fashion, so you know exactly what you're getting: Jokes…

Board Meeting, Bruce Fummey, Fringe 2010, Nothing in Particular,

Bruce Fummey warns our board that the end is nigh!

Board Meeting: Bruce Fummey

19 Aug 2010

Board Meeting: Sarah-Louise Young

19 Aug 2010

Board Meeting, Fringe 2010, henry paker, Mike Wozniak, The Golden Lizard,

Golden Lizard give us one of the most impressive boards

Board Meeting: Golden Lizard

19 Aug 2010

Their lizard may not be entirely golden in this shot, but it has a nosebleed. Random bits of blood is, we believe, the new thing in comedy. Especially when you give comedians the option of a red board marker. Nice funny boys doing characters and…

Andy Linden expresses himself in odd ways on our board

Board Meeting: Andy Linden

19 Aug 2010

It's the dude you might recognise off the telly doing chat and that. If we were to analyse his Board, we could conclude that he either sees himself as the Elephant Man or a balloon. We're not sure which is more worrying.

Me! Me! Me!

Pipe smoking Mr B Scribbles down some of his favourite things, "Me"

Board Meeting: Me! Me! Me!

13 Aug 2010

There are some acts that you meet and wish they made the rules for how the rest of the world dressed, behaved and rapped. Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer doesn't, yet, but you could totally get tips in his lunchtime show at the Ghillie Dhu. But keep the pipe…

Sarah Bennetto: The King and I

Sarah Bennetto draws her first card

Daniel Rigby draws us up a biblical board

Daniel Rigby draws us up a biblical board

Board Meeting: Daniel Rigby

13 Aug 2010

Daniel is telling the tale of life as a lapsed born-again Christian and so has, quite rightly, drawn a cross on his board. He has also adopted a beautifully holy expression, which was nice to see. However, the show is not guaranteed to be a fast track…

Board Meeting: Nat Luurtsema

This Summer Nat is discussing heroism and being helpful in bad situations. As such she drew the first dinosaur of the Board Meeting series, complete with first sword. If that's not worth having a gander at her quirky brand of comedy, then the dinosaurs…

Jo Caulfield - her off the telly sketches out her Fringe show Cruel to be Kind

Board Meeting: Jo Caulfield

7 Aug 2010

Another comedian puts pen to board for The List, to draw the essence of their stand-up. When asked how she'd flyer her own show, Caulfield explains she'd point at the flyer and ask, 'Do you know who she is? Off the telly? Well, it's her but she's much…

'Pedantic overlord' Stephen Carlin draws out ther details of his show

'Pedantic overlord' Stephen Carlin draws out the details of his show

Board Meeting: Stephen Carlin

7 Aug 2010

Stephen Carlin took 25 minutes to draw his whiteboard. It's not a criticism, but symptomatic of a show born from the brain of (and we're quoting) "a pedantic overlord" which has won him high favour on the comedy circuit with its invention and picked…

Phil Nichol sketches out Welcome to Crazytown

Board Meeting: Phil Nichol

Board Meeting: James Dowdeswell

7 Aug 2010

James Dowdeswell discovered that his great grandfather was a clown and comic actor who had worked with Charlie Chaplin? How does an up-and-coming comedian compete with that? By looking a bit homeless on the street outside his venue with a whiteboard and…
