A MASSIVE THANK YOU

Now that the dust has settled and we have got over the initial withdrawal symptoms that the end of Manchester Comedy Festival 2010 brought on, we would like to say a massive thank you to everybody that has been involved this year.

From the promoters organising the gigs to the venues hosting them, from the acts performing to the PRs pushing the events, everybody has worked their socks off to make this by far the most successful Manchester Comedy Festival ever - a fitting achievement given that it was its 10th birthday.

Most importantly, however, we would like to thank all those who came to see the shows as without you there wouldn't be a festival.

We're already planning for next year and we hope you'll all join as again as we look to go bigger and better than ever.

FIVE QUESTIONS WITH... SUSAN VALE

Today, we caught up with the lovely Susan Vale to find out about her show, The Fall by Numbers.

1) What is your show about?
My love of The Fall– the band that is not the season or the Albert Camus novel although I like both of those too; show includes The Fall bingo

2) What has been the highlight of your comedy career thus far?
Robin Ince’s Bookclub shows at Latitude Festival

3) Finish this sentence: "If you like The Fall and Susan Vale then you'll like my show"

4) What will you do in the hour before your show?
Having oils and perfumes massaged into me by my eunuch

5) Name 3 other comics you would recommend seeing.
That’s a difficult one as there are so many good acts on. I’m going to ignore the big famous comics like Jimmy Carr and Richard Herring and go for the medium to lesser known comics:
Noel James
Michael Redmond
Susan Murray

The Fall by Numbers is on at Simple on 27th October. Click here to buy tickets.
