THE UNIVERSAL COMEDY CLUB
The Universal, Glasgow, Sun 3 Oct
Des Clarke has Universal appeal
If the world of comedy clubs could be compared to the restaurant trade, then comedy behemoth Jongleurs is probably most akin to Wagamama; an essentially good set-up which has arguably become rather over-branded. The alternative is somewhere like the Wee Curry Shop; a unique venture, serving up quality products at decent prices. Billy Bonkers‘ Madcap comedy nights come in the latter category and have long been top of the menu on the Glasgow scene. Now to add to his repertoire, Mr Bonkers is introducing a new Sunday evening comedy and music night at the
Universal bar.
The latest venture will open like a traditional stand-up show, with Des Clarke fronting the first session, followed by familiar faces such as Phil Kay, Raymond Mearns and Janey Godley on subsequent nights. But once the comedians step down, the place will transform into a club, offering live music and DJ sets until 3am. This format is not a new one — Jongleurs itself follows a similar pattern - but Bonkers’ night is set to be a more intimate and innovative affair. ‘My policy has always been to encourage new comics by including open mic spots and it's been pretty successful in the past, with Reverend Obadiah Steppenwolfe Ill and Des Clarke starting out at Madcap. It’s the kind of place where new faces are going to learn their trade.‘ Thankfully the music will avoid the cheesy chart and party route, but will instead feature live acts playing R8IB, acid jazz and dub.
