Brilliant show.. full of great stories and laughs. The night was made even better by Troy taking time at the end of the show to come into the bar for a chat and to pose for photos with everyone.

Great night support from local ledgend Fran Garrity then the amazing Troy Hawke the act is not for some but I've seen him before in the same venue few years ago this work in progress show was great and well polished Troy's interaction and rollercoaster of his life stories are great I've knocked 2 stars off the venue as it was very cold when we first arrived the heating was on after around 20 mins you could feel the temp plummet they should have a whip round to get punters to throw in a couple of quid in the hat to go towards the energy bill.The compare Matty Oxleu was a welcome suprise too.
