Before we start getting all festive on you, what with Christmas markets, presents and pantos, we thought we'd give you something to ease the post Christmas stress (and the hump day blues) in the form of the November instalment of Comedy at Lavery's in Belfast this Wednesday. Featuring Dublin's Robbie Bonham with some help from Gary Lynch, Darren Matthews and Colin Geddis (of I Am Fighter fame). This is sure to be a very very funny night, especially for the hecklers amongst you, so be prepared for some back chat. Where: Lavery's Bar, Belfast When: Wednesday 27th November, 8.30pm The Damage: £6 Who wrote this...Laura Caldwell
I'm 20 years old, studying Journalism with Photo-Imaging at the University of Ulster Coleraine Campus. I have an undying love for Belfast and all that it has to offer, an undying love for sleeping, Tegan and Sara, trashy tv shows, foreign snack-foods and being irresponsible with money. I also quite like origami, reading, jazz, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV. I've written for The Big List, Culture NI, Chatterbox and The Echo, as well as currently writing for BBC Across the Line. What better way to round off Belfast Music Week than by seeing the very tippy top of the NI music pyramid all in one place, and what's better than 1 album launch on such a night? How about 2 Album launches! Mojo Fury launch their album 'The difference between' along side the Rupture Dogs who release their debut 'Feral'. The under card should have you rockin' along rightly too with Gascan Ruckus, Couth, A Northern Light and Dutch Schultz. In between all this will be Bee Mick See DJing his wee heart out. More info right here. When: Sat 16th November Who wrote this?Sir Christopher J Caldwell. I enjoy wrestling, films and nautical adventure. I've just finished making a short film which you can see here. I also DJ sometimes - next one is the Black Sabbath afterparty in Voodoo - check it out here. You'll see me out and about eating or drinking. Sometimes even both whilst walking. I have written for The Big List. I currently also write for BBC Across The Line.
BBC ATL Review: The Magic Numbers BBC ATL Review: Rams' Pocket Radio, A Northern Light, Serotonin Norn Iron is going Halloween mad at the minute. Derry is seemingly the Halloween capital of the world but Belfast has a few tricks up it's sleeve! How about this one, a haunted house style attraction with people all dressed up jumping out and scaring the clean sh*t out of you while you walk around an (allegedly) haunted Victorian prison at night! I already have my tickets and an extra pair of trousers bought. Your worst nightmares will come true as you make your way through the dark and windy wings of this famous Victorian prison that is reputed to be one of the most haunted buildings in Belfast. Here you will come face-to-face with many characters that once roamed this notorious prison bringing their terrifying past back to life... Who Goes there?Christopher J Caldwell.

This week's pick is brand new. In fact it's so new that it hasn't even opened to the public yet. Jaxx Jazz Club is Belfast's newest jazz venue and is opening its doors for the first time this Saturday (12th October). Open just on Saturday nights, Jaxx is an intimate venue in the heart of the city, with seating for only 100 people so get on down quick. Under the artistic direction of trumpeter Rick Swann, the club features a host of world renowned musicians playing both contemporary and swing time jazz for all musical palates. You can book your tickets in advance here. Where: 16 - 20 Fountain Street When: Saturday Nights 9pm - 1am The Damage: £5 Who loves a bitta jazz...?Laura Caldwell

Currently sick as a dog. I enjoy wrestling, films and nautical adventure. I've just finished making a short film which you can see here. I Co-created this pastiebap.com empire and I do some of this writing. You'll see me out and about eating or drinking. Sometimes even both. This week's pick is something to get your proverbial sides splitting, ribs tickling and jaws aching. On the 25th September as a part of Belfast's only comedy festival Belly Laughs, improv group Wonder Frog will be taking the stage at the Green Room in the Black Box for an hour of unscripted comedy gold. According to the Belly Laughs website "If you like your comedy energetic, inventive and on a Wednesday, then this is the show for you", and this definitely sounds like our kind of show. Made up of Colin Woodham, Aaron Marshall, Emma Little, Marcus Keeley, Saskia Leach and Frazer Robb this is NI comedy at its finest. Why not give it a go? Who isn't funny at all..?Laura Caldwell
Is trying to watch both seasons of Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 as quickly as possible while avoiding the fact that University starts in a few days. She is also enjoying her new iPhone 5C, her new laser eyes and her new found respect for improv comedy. |
