Chelsey ward needs to stop reading this and get some work done.

QUICK STEVE. IT'S ON NOW. YOU'RE MISSING IT.

As lockdown eases, yet getting together still seems so hard, Sheffield’s iconic Last Laugh Comedy Club is getting back to work doing what it does best: making people laugh. Whilst indoor concerts are still taboo, the team behind the longest running comedy club in the north are taking to the car park of the Fly DSA Arena to bring a star studded night of stand up comedy to laughter starved South Yorkshire folk. Last Laugh supremo Toby Foster says “We’re an emergency service. Sheffield needs to laugh again, so I spoke to Sheffield City Trust, mates at The Arena and the police and the council. They have all been incredibly supportive, so we are on for fun and games”. August 22nd will see a full line up of stand up comedy in the car park of the Arena held together by Sheffield favourite Nina Gilligan. She will host Junior Simpson, BGT’s Steve Royle and comedy superstar Justin Moorhouse from Phoenix Nights. Foster explains “We’ll be sat outside, socially distanced in our bubbles. We’ll be ordering our drinks and snacks in advance and spraying the loos down after every little wee. We’ll be so COVID safe, and just enjoying the fact that we are out! ” Further details can be seen on The Last Laugh Comedy Club’s Facebook page and website. As Toby says, “ We always knew that we would play The Arena, we just didn’t think that it would be the car park!”.

That is absolute rubbish. I'm not bothered about getting into a discussion about it, as there is obviously no point, but that is total rubbish.

Which bit did you think was biased?

Yeah. Dan the producer has been off ill. He's back today, so we'll be awful again.

Hi Wallace. Sorry I've not replied before, I've not looked here for a bit. Thankfully my daughter did. She's 14. She worked out that you call me Tubby because I'm fat, she just wants to know what nickname you'd use if I was black? Or disabled? Or ginger. She just wonders what your limits are when it comes to insulting people you have never met. Fortunately, she's not really met lots of people like you, but it does leave a gap in her knowledge. I bet you can do really funny foreign accents.

I can honestly say that I have never claimed to be a journalist. You all love it really. Tune in folks!

Of course, that is just an opinion.

No I'm not, I'm lovely.

Ok, not technically Sheffield, but it's only about a mile from Chapeltown... On May 28th we have the first ever Wentworth Music Festival in the stunning grounds of Wentworth Woodhouse. Not just music, but comedy and fun too. A dedicated kids comedy tent, an adult comedy tent, fairground rides, and unsigned bends tent as well as a main stage that will feature the likes Lemar, Dodgy, T'pau, Heaven 17 and Tony Christie. Lots of food and drink stalls as well as market stalls and what have you. Free, well managed parking. starts at about 11 am, goes on til about half nine. And it's a bank holiday the next day.

No, the reason I don't comment is that there are some people on this thread who are being very rude about some of my colleagues, which is unfair and unfounded. Radio Sheffield is full of hard working folk who, just like everyone else, are delivering a great service with fewer resources than ever. I'm proud to be part of that team. I'm currently working my tripes off pulling Wentworth Music Festival together. It's a massive do, and we want to get it right. I now know more about regulations and red tape than I ever thought I'd need to. It's going to be a fab day, come and enjoy it. After that, I'm back on't wireless in June. In the meantime I'm doing the school run listening to Paul. Obama out.

I have, as has been suggested, been working flat out on Wentworth Music Festival. It's looking fab, do come. I've now got two weeks holiday, as the kids are off. Cheers Toby

They got presents and pneumonia. Happy to help.

You know, most of the times when people put things like this, it just because they have only half heard something. And that's fine, that's the way it goes. But this comment, and what it infers, couldn't be further off the mark.
