After a triumphant showing at the Craic Attack Final, the Princes Of Lagos are back doing what they do best, IMPROVISING a full two-hour show.For some of the best improvisers in the business are let loose and will be penetrating your ears with hilarity! They’ll be playing games a la Whose Line Is It Anyway and possibly doing a bit of Asssssssscat 3000 – if you are unfamiliar with these terms, then I’ll be posting stuff intermittently to show you what they are all about!

Excited? No? Well maybe watching these examples of what to expect will help…

Bet you’re excited now! Check out the Princes tonight in 4Dame Lane @ 9pm!

Where: 4Dame Lane

When: TONIGHT 29th Nov2012

Time: 9.05pm

After a change of date & a change of venue I was a little concerned that the 2012 Craic Attack final would struggle to attract enough of a crowd to make the evening successful. But as I squeezed my way into a seat in The Bad Ass Café on Wed 7th Nov. it was clear my worries were unfounded. The room was stuffed full of comedy enthusiasts & there were even some familiar faces in the crowd, including The International Comedy Club’s resident MC Aidan Bishop, who had clearly turned out to support the up & coming comedians who would be participating in the competition.

The line up for the evening was comprised of Emmet Quinn, Conor Neville, Sean Nolan, Matthew Collins, Al Porter, The Princes of Lagos, Annabel O’Connell,  Emmanuel Idama, Cormac Moore and Rob Stears. The role of MC belonged to none other than Andrew Stanley. It was evident from the onset that Stanley has plenty of experience as an MC  & he confidently kept the audience focused & in the mood for comedy over the course of the night.

The collection of finalists was an interesting one and there was no differentiation between the finalists who were chosen by the judges and those who made it thanks to audience votes. I felt this was the fairest approach to take as it resulted in all the comedians being received equally by the Bad Ass crowd.
