Straight from the horses mouth!....a selection of comments about our night from a few of our comedy virgins
"Hi Shirley and David,
I just wanted to say a heowge thanks for last night, I was probably a total pain in the arse before going up to do my bit due to my nerves, so thank you for your patience and encouragement. And I enjoyed it so much! I'm really glad I got up and did it, and I'm definitely going to give it another go - at the Cavendish Arms again if that's ok, as it is such a lovely, supportive environment to be trying something so scary in. So when can I come back?! Thanks again, and I think your pub is a lovely little gem in Stockwell."

"Dear Shirley,
Thank you for reserving my table. I just wanted to let you know my friends and I had a WONDERFUL night at the show! The host of the comedy show was hilarious, and I love how you have used this space for people to come in and express their talents in a communal and supportive setting. We're definitely looking forward to coming back! Take care."
"Hi Shirley and David,
Just to say thank you for the brilliant night on February 16th, I had great fun performing and watching all the comics perform. It was really, really funny and the atmosphere was fantastic...I was very nervous but everyone there was so nice and this helped enormously. I hope I can come and perform again some other time, I'd be so grateful if you'd let me!"
"Hi Dave, Just wanted to say I had a great time on Monday night - I thought the set up for the evening and the atmosphere was spot on. I'll definitely be recommending it to people. Really looking forward to 10 November when I get the chance to come back..!"
"Hello! Thanks for last night. It was a very well organised night. And your efforts to ensure the acts bring friends and sticks around to support the night really pays off. Well done. By way of reward for that, I would like to regale you with my presence once again. Please could you put me down for your next available 5 min slot?"
"Hi. I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you very much for the gig you gave Craig at Comedy Virgins last night. He really enjoyed it an was full of praise about how nice the venue and the people involved were."
"Hi there Just wanted to say what a great night you ran last night. Really fab atmosphere and venue. Thoroughly enjoyed it and so did my friends. Do let me know when you next have a pre-bookable space as I would love to come and do more comedy. Thanks again really impressed."
"Hi... First of all, just wanted to say thanks so much for such a great time last Monday. Me and my friend were both doing a routine for the first time and couldn't have been a better place for it - the atmosphere, way the night was run and of course the lovely Shirley and Dave were all brilliant. So good in fact that, now we've got our courage up, we'd both like to come again.
"Just wanted to say 'thank you' for allocating me a slot on the Comedy Virgins last night. Obviously, it was my first gig, and I thought it was a great place to take that first plunge. I found the whole night very enjoyable and extremely well run. It was clear that you guys have a passion for comedy and in helping new acts. I can't wait to come back in Feb with a more solid set."
I feel I am thoroughly addicted to your Comedy Virgins night! I've played it twice in the last week and have had such a brilliant time. What you and Dave have got going there is tremendous....keep up the good work. I'm writing to see if I can book in on some future dates (as i know your nights book up months in advance). I am already on the bill in February, but would love to play the Arms at any opportunity after that.
"Just wanted to thank you for putting on such a great night last night. What a fantastic evening and venue! Thanks again!"
"I just wanted to say thanks very much for a really enjoyable evening last night. Great venue, great audience and consistently great acts.
I'd love to play again so if you can let me know when you next have free spots and if you'll have me, I'll book 'em."
