Comedy at The Imperial hotel, away from the main hub of the festival is a great new(ish) space that I haven't had the chance to visit before.
Their 5 for 5 at 5 is the elderly sister to the drunk uncle that is Late Night, Every Night Show.
On the night I ventured in the performers were:
NB - I'm pretty sure I'm missing a few, but it was late and I probably should have gone to the early session!
I went on a Saturday night when it was clear that some sports fans from the bar downstairs had migrated up to the show and they had been drinking A LOT.
If you ever want to know how good a comedian is just watch them destroy a group of drunk Germans who make poor attempts at heckling. Wil Anderson & Geraldine Hickey were masterful in their dealing with the group that had the while crowd against them for wrecking the start of what was a great show case gig.
The Imperial is fast becoming my favourite venue during the festival - we'll see how I feel after Good Friday where I'll be there for 6 shows in a row! Go to any of their show case style shows and you won't be disappointed - you might even be surprised and find a new comedian to adore.
