It's been a while since I've posted a Mostly Comedy press release in place of a blog here. And as our next Hitchin gig's just thirteen days away, now seems as good a time as any to do it: Press Release – 04.03.20 mostly comedy a monthly comedy club at hitchin town hall On 19th March, Doggett & Ephgrave’s popular monthly club at Hitchin Town Hall, Mostly Comedy, will play host to the Olivier-nominated comedian, writer, broadcaster and all-round British institution ARTHUR SMITH , who will both perform and then be interviewed by the duo for their More Than Mostly Comedy podcast.

The dust has barely settled from last week's Mostly and we're already promoting the next one; this time, headed by the member of musical comedy royalty that is Neil Innes. See below for the press release for it: Press Release – 20.10.19 mostly comedy a monthly comedy club at hitchin town hall Hitchin’s comic duo DOGGETT & EPHGRAVE celebrate the eleventh birthday of their successful monthly club Mostly Comedy on 3rd October by hosting a cracking line-up at the Town Hall, headed by honorary seventh member of Monty Python, NEIL INNES . Innes is a British writer and musical comic best known for playing in the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and The Rutles. He studied at the Norwich School of Fine Art, from which he was thrown out around 1963, allegedly for "spending all day playing music, instead of making things". In the period 1962-65, Innes and several other art school students started a band which was originally named The Bonzo Dog Dada Band after...

Press releases are a means to an end (that end being, "to hope to draw an audience"). There's no guarantee this will work, but when you're hosting an act like Reginald D Hunter, you'd expect to get a fair amount of interest. See below for the press release for our next Hitchin show a fortnight today, then book: Doggett, D Hunter and Ephgrave, backstage at a one-off Mostly Comedy at Royal Airforce Museum London. Press Release – 05.09.19 mostly comedy a monthly comedy club at hitchin town hall The duo behind Hitchin’s successful long-running club Mostly Comedy, DOGGETT & EPHGRAVE , kick off their Autumn 2019 season on 19th September at their new home Hitchin Town Hall in the company of TV favourite, REGINALD D HUNTER.

He was born in Albany in Georgia in 1969 and initia...

This evening, I quickly knocked up/off - depending on which seems more appropriate - a press release for the extra Mostly Comedy we've squeezed in on 4th April with Tony Slattery, in the hope it's not too late to be featured in the Hitchin Comet this week. It's more likely than not that I've missed the deadline, but I thought it was still worth giving it a go. Until very recently, I'd never missed writing a press release for a gig, but I don't think I've put one together since October last year, for the simple reason that shows keep selling out, making it less necessary. Plus I'd got bored of doing them; there's only so many times you can rejig the same information across a decade before you want to pull your hair out. I've since realised my press release is far-from-perfect - I missed off one of the acts for starters - but here's hoping it helps give the show a push. Here's what I wrote: Press Release – 24 . 03 .1 9 mostly c...

One thing I did today (besides a jeans-wash) was edit a press release for next week's impromptu extra Hitchin Mostly Comedy with John Thomson. We had to move it to Hitchin as it was selling poorly in St Albans and we wanted to preserve the booking so no-one missed out. It seems we made the right choice as nearly seventy tickets were sold in the first day compared to seven in St Albans across a couple of weeks. See below for the press release (and then book if you're feeling lucky): Press Release – 24.09.18 mostly comedy a monthly comedy club at the sun hotel in hitchin The duo behind Hitchin’s successful ten-year-old monthly comedy club Mostly Comedy ( DOGGETT & EPHGRAVE) are delighted to present a last-minute addition to their autumn season, on 4 th October, featuring cult comic legend JOHN THOMSON.
