Hosted by well known comedian Kate Smurthwaite the show features two teams in a panel game format. The team captains are Phil Loweth and Angie Belcher, this time assisted by Mr Meredith and James Farr. After a few topical jokes from Kate, and a brief stand up routine from each contestant, the first round is the picture quiz, photos from recent news stories. Followed by a match the headline to the story round and finally the manifesto section of the show. In this each contestant puts forward their own idea for a policy that should be adopted.
There's much daftness, some sharp political comments, and chances for the audience to join in. All good fun, with a mild satirical edge and plenty of laughs. The show, of course, is entirely different every day so you could easily go more than once. It can be a good way of finding comedians you might not otherwise come across.
Oh, and Phil's suggestion of a mean tax - the more unpleasant you are, the more tax you pay - won the audience manifesto vote on the day.
Comedy Manifesto is in the Liquid Room Annexe at 15.25 until the 30th.
