CHOSEN BY COMEDIAN MICHAEL REDMOND Enterteasement
Over three years ago, I made my approach to the Admiral Bar in Waterloo Street in Glasgow city centre with a degree of trepidation. My sense of foreboding was increased because it was a dark, dank, rain-swept night in Glasgow in the middle of November. I had been booked to appear at the Enterteasement Club. This place is totally unique in Glasgow in that the bill is a mixture of magicians, burlesque dancers and comedians. The reason for my trepidation was because I thought comedy and burlesque couldn’t possibly mix together, and that it would be really difficult for a comedian to follow a burlesque act. But that is not the case at all. I have performed there two or three times since and it has always been a fantastic night. The audience, who have been built up over the years by Chris Dinwoodie who founded the club, are amazingly responsive and supportive of all the acts. Enterteasement Club, Glasgow, Sat 13 Oct (featuring comedians Jay Lafferty and Ro Campbell); Michael Redmond’s Sunday Service, The Stand, Glasgow, Sun 2, 9, 16, 23 Sep, 14 Oct.
