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...CAIMH MCDONNELL
Caimh McDonnell's A Series of Unfortunate Events is on at The Engine House on 20th October. We put five questions to him to find out more about his show...
What is your show about?
My show is a celebration of my own social ineptitude. If you’re the kind of person who thinks ‘A stranger is just a friend I haven’t met yet’ – this show isn’t for you. If however you think ‘a stranger is just an embarrassing situation waiting to happen’ then come along, if for no other reason than to see someone who is more socially awkward than you are.
What has been the highlight of your comedy career thus far?
A gig I did in Thailand being raided by Immigration. As heckles go, ‘I’m throwing you out of the country’ is a cracker.
Finish this sentence: "If you like _____, then you'll like my show"
Cookies!
4) What will you do in the hour before your show?
My venue is directly below my flat so the hovering probably.
Name 3 other comics you would recommend seeing.
