Closing set
A great bunch of people thanks guys you really bolstered my confidence, my
first proper closing set in a stand up comedy club, my nerves really were
shot by the time I got on stage and I bolted through my set. Thanks again
for giving me such a warm reception and generous round of applause. Thanks
and next time I promise no nail up nose! And Adrian, cheers for the kind
words mate meant a lot, message understood and I’ve acted on the advice
accordingly!
Thursday 28th August
The George, Strand, London
Quiet night in a really nicely organised and friendly club. Thanks goes out
to Tim the MC and promoter, you deserved a bigger crowd old bean you really
did. I was third up on the bill and had a really good time. More relaxed
without the pressure to “perform” but I guess that when you really want
something sometimes you over play your hand rather than giving it the
lightest of touches (to mix metaphors). But anyway to the guys who chatted
to me before they left your kind words were generous. Here’s to the Surrey
Massive! Shout going out to the Caterham Posse!
Next Gig is sometime in September, more soon, in the meantime come down to
www.thegagfactory.co.uk on the 17th September, I’ll be MCing the usual mix
of japes, jollity and jocular jesters. There’s a change of venue, the Star
public house in Quarry Street at the bottom end of the High Street, bottom
of the cobbled hill. Anyway all is explained on the website. See you at the
next Gag Factory or wherever!
Oodles of toodles…

Breaking News from the desk of Stuart Morrison….
Hello! Hey, I’ve had a fantastic new development. I’ve been signed by a management agency. Yup, I have a manager. Jed Simpson is his name and he’ll be handling all enquiries from now on.
If you’re here looking for a funnyman, comedian, entertainer or host/MC? Look no further. I am the man who can - Mr. Corporate Entertainment. 8 years+ performing at corporate events and for corporate clients spanning the globe. It’s my job to put smiles on faces and make a corporate event memorable for the right reasons. I’m an experienced Host, MC and Comedian performing corporate comedy material, written, tailored and honed to be on target and on message for your company, clients and customers.
So contact Jed to book me he’s a busy man so his mobile is best:

It’s all new for 2008 a Corporate PowerPoint Presentation like no other. Full of jibes, japes and jests as well as busniess insights, observations and advice. I can tailor the whole show to your exact company requirements and either open or end your expo, exhibition or conference and leave delegates with a smile.
More than just comedy though, it’s full of practical marketing advice, learned in the trenches of being a self employed businessman for many years before I was a comedian. Yes! I wasn’t always a self promoting, self running, comedy one man whirlwind. I’ve run my own businesses before, with designs in the V&A museum, several product lines and award winning websites to name just a few things I have done. I’ll offer you insights into how to make your customers sit up and take notice of your company, your product or your message and show you how I learned from my mistakes.
Call on: 07968 756595 and find out how to book this unique comedy entertainment or visit my website www.stuartmorrison.com and read about what else I do.
This website is mainly edited in a programme calle XSitePro a handy piece of kit which helps me keep track of the various bits and bobs. The makers of that software recently held a competition to find out the best content site, and I entered this one, plus two others I manage. Here’s the email I received earlier today:
“Hi Stuart. After much deliberating from the judges we have finally made a decision as to the three winners of the Content Competition we ran several weeks ago. It was a really tough job as we had nearly 1,000 entries, which is why it took so long to go through them all. I’m pleased to say that your ‘monplaisir.co.uk’ site was awarded Second Prize by the judges. Two of your other sites (LittlerBritain and StuartMorrison.com) also ended up in the short-short list of ten, so you did REALLY well. You’ve already done an awesome job, congratulations Stuart and well done for getting three sites in the top 10. That is quite an achievement. Paul”
It’s most excellent news indeed! So if you’ve found me it’s a big thanks to Paul Smithson and his crew of programmers.If you want me to come and tell you how I get good rankings, with the funniest PowerPoint slideshow you’ll ever see, then call me on 07968 756595 to read about what others who’ve seem me think then please click here: www.stuartmorrison.com/corporate_testimonials.htm and book some educational entertainment
The Gag Factory comedy night at Guildford’s The Boileroom on May the 8th (second Thurs of every month thereafter).I’ll be officiating, or MC-ing as it’s more formally known. Some great acts, some new comedicans all guaranteed to delight, amuse and entertain.
It’ll be comedy, music a few sketches and variety performers and a whole heap of humour. I am really looking forward to it
If you have a yearning to perform then please call Jed on: 07528 584937 See you there! For more about the event and directions click the following link: www.thegagfactory.co.uk
Location: Perfect Home, Leicester
Another great day of PR and store launching, the 20th Perfect Home and a great day out. Twist PR put the shine on the event, getting the most marketing mileage out of the opening event as possible.
Spongebob Squarepants was there, Mark,who ‘plays’ the Spongey one is really, really good very animated and reacts well to events even though all he has is his hands really. A tribute to his skill in a ’skin’ or character suit. He does other characters too, a great addition to the day.
We did our best to get a crowd for the Grand Opening ribbon cutting, and managed a respectable sized audience. It’s a pleasure to pose for pics and meet people when they are all as nice as the customers in Leicester. The impersonation work is fun especially with such well-loved characters as those of Little Britain. A quick change after we’d finished and a schlep down to London for our next gig!
Why not have me come and launch your event, call me on 07968 756595

Open Mic night and a chance to try-out all my latest new stand-up material, some brand, brand new written in the past 7 days, other stuff was re-written new material, anyway. Not feeling too good thanks to an injury on my arm, given the penultimate open mic spot. The evening was a mixed bag, some good beginners/intermediates. After the interval the MC, Steve a likable chap who seemed huge thanks in part to the very low ceiling, had a “guess the intro” spot and played TV theme tunes, he asked the audience what they were, I spotted the first and he thought it great, someone else got the second one then he came back to me and said “bet you can’t get the next one”, intro starts “High Chaparral” says moi, MC goes into raptures at my TV intro geekery, does a bit more work and gets a big round of applause then he moves on.
OK, four acts later I’m up, step up to the mic, say hello to the audience, and before I get a chance to do much else one young lady in the front row shouts out, “You heckled the other acts boooooooooooo”
Now first rule of Comedy Club is never heckle the other acts. Second rule of Comedy Club is NEVER HECKLE THE OTHER ACTS!!! So I don’t, it’s just unprofessional. But it sort of went downhill very rapidly after that. I tried to make light of it and josh my way through, talk to her etc… but she was having none of it, then there was a guy who joined in who just wouldn’t shut up, I tried to play nice, but that didn’t work, so I went for him, that got some reaction, but not the best ever I think the audience was quite drunk by then and were more like an angry mob! They then rounded on the fact my t-shirt was tucked into my jeans, WTF? Fashion heckling, what gives? So I pulled it out at their behest.
I managed a few of my new gags but it was a struggle against the two pockets of resistance. No army has ever won fighting two fronts and I now know how the boys landing on Omaha Beach felt, I ducked, dodged and weaved but amazingly, I delivered my last gag, and then got a huge big audience reaction laughs cheers etc and I left to big applause.
Stand-up Comedy is a strange beast but I love it, so bring it on! Can’t wait to go back for another go!!
If you have a question for me then pick up the phone and call me on 07968 756595
or have a read of my Corporate Client F.A.Q.’s
Location: Bar One, Milan Bar, Croydon. Downstairs.
Arrived early and was left to roam the downstairs bar and watch the setup. A small but very warm crowd turned out to watch us three comedians and Tony Cowards the MC. Rex Boyd headlined and his set was very energetic. The opening acts Steve did well to get the crowd going after Tony had warmed them up. My own comedy set was a mix of new material, some older corporate comedy routines plus my nail-up-the-nose illusion. Crowd was grossed out but got a very nice wave of applause which sounded bigger than the 50 or so people who were there.
Thanks Croydon I’ll be back to sample your delights soon. To sample my stand up skills at your event, contact me on 07968 756595
