The Comedy Picnic has hit town again in it’s new home of The Pod Deco.

The format is the same as last year, compered by the outrageously camp Jonathan Meyer and an assortment of four other comedians all based in the North-West of England.

The four on the menu when I dropped in were Dave Ingram, Rodney Marks, Mick Davis and Ian Fox as the Bill Topper.

Each had about 10 minutes to sell themselves and they all succeeded to a greater or lesser extent.

With a changing line-up there is no guarantee as to who will be on the bill when you go, but it is certainly a good way to see 5 up and coming comics for the price of one.
