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.

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
    • Hi. Does anyone know of a silver making jewellery workshop. I am trying to find something nice for my daughter’s 18th birthday.l for her and some friends but everything I find online is too pricey or can’t accommodate 10 girls. Thanks
