My stand-up comedy compadre Lee O’Connell will be performing a set at the Alternative World Cup Final Comedy Night at the Hare and Hounds in Kings Heath on Sunday, 11th July.  Lee’s a very funny anecdote fiend from North Birmingham who delivers his material with dry wit, easy charm, clinical precision and – when the situation calls for it – the vocal mannerisms of Dustin Hoffman.  I recommend him highly.

Lee is also a filmmaker.  Here’s a rather charming short film he made for this year’s Film Dash competition (the one where Brum-based filmmakers have to make a flick in 48hrs):

Anyhow, tickets for the 11th July gig are only £3 and I plan to pop along myself.  I recommend it to anyone seeking an alternative to the World Cup Final, comedy-shaped or otherwise.
