Last week I said the compere is the most important spot on a comedy bill. Some of you were ... not thrilled. Three objections came back. The best one: “nobody buys a ticket without a famous headliner.” So I asked my own audience whether they’d rather have a TV name or a strong line-up. The answer might surprise you. (It didn’t surprise me. I’m biased.) New post on my Substack (link in bio). Opener, compere or headliner: who matters most? #Substack #Compere #MC #ComedyClub #ComedyIndustry by @philipscomedy

In the build up to this week’s show, it’s time to meet the acts: SPOTLIGHT ON … OTIZ CANNELLONI Reluctant Messiah, Man of The People, ‘O’ Level Woodwork Otiz Cannelloni combines the illusion of magic and the wit of stand up to produce a hybrid comic creation. With a mind more suited to testing crash helmets, his performance fluctuates between sheer genius and downright stupidity. Just when you suspect he doesn’t have a clue, Cannelloni removes all doubt. When this man is on stage the dressing room empties, as the rest of the comics rush to watch and learn from his mistakes. It’s taken years of practice to make something so simple look so difficult. One of the first three comedians to play in Saudi Arabia. Half of the legendary Brown Paper Bag Brothers alongside John Hegley. “One of the most purely entertaining and enjoyable shows I have ever seen.” THE SCOTSMAN Despite various television appearances – The Stand Up Show BBC 1 - Stuff The White Rabbit BBC 2 – Comedians At The King’s – BBC Scotland – producers are prepared to forgive and forget, mostly forget. Show Info: 📅 Saturday 19th September 🕰️ 8pm start 📍 96 Shenley Road, Borehamwood, Herts, WD6 1EB 🎟️ https://bit.ly/19-Sept-2026 #Comedy #LiveComedy #ComedyClub #WhatsOnInBorehamwood #Hertfordshire by @philipscomedy
