I really enjoyed my first promotion, I was a bit nervous at first. It was a great night, and people said it was, “Fantastic, Funny and Brilliant. Over 75 people came, so there was plenty to do. I had a job of doing the box office as well as announcing John Smith to the audience. I would like thank Rob for helping, but next time I will get more people involved. I would have  liked to of made the comedian a cup of tea and have time to find out how they were feeling.

Afterwards, everyone was asking, when was the next show and are you putting John Smith on again. I am thinking that my next show will be sometime in April. I will use Brook Street in Tipton because it has a bar. To help decide what show would be next, I used forms to ask people what they wanted. I gave them a choice of Comedy, BSL theatre and Mime; 18 people wanted BSL theatre, unsurprisingly 25 thought Comedy would be best and a few liked the idea of Mime.

Black Country Touring have helped us to get the club back together again, more people are coming each week. It’s great that deaf people and their friends and family are enjoying themselves and that the club is attracting younger people.
