I remember..I premiered my one woman show ''the magic muff' at it and saw hugh cornwall in the big top. All run by the original EDT comedy team who sadly were kicked out of the edt to make way for a restaurant but are now happily running the hob in forest hill every saturday. breathes.

it ran for two years. they had a big top on goose green. withnail and I was screened in the first year and bill bailey did a riotous evening to close the second year. the following year the lib dems and tories took control of southwark and edfest was canned when they refused to continue supporting the event.

thank you for asking Alan, it was a stand up comedy show exploring whether the 'pram in the hallway' really is the enemy of art. What would have happened if Van Gogh had had children? and culminated in showing the paintings famous artists would have done when their hypothetical offspring begged them to ''draw dolly''. Then there was a little dance celebrating female creativity - the magic muff.

We used to boo Izzard of before he even started comparing his material was so bad. But he kept plugging away and thanks to us he is now very good! .

I remember telling Rhona Cameron how good she was when she did the open spot there. Harry Hill also appeared with some chap when he was starting.


Originally it was Janet Prince and Husband Steve Frost. The Lovely Leslie Claire O'neil (who I think did a bit of Corrie) and Emma - its Emma who continued at the HOB.

And my Favourite who used to stick a firework in his ... whose name escapes me even though he did a spot at my birthday party!

I remember this too - hysterically funny. And the improve thing too - whose line is it anyway - with some of the old faces from the TV show. Was a fantastic event, and sorely missed.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
