Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 11th December 2016Wibbley Wobbley boat has re-appeared somewhere else
Bruce Dessau asked me for a quote which he could add to the news item he had written on his Beyond The Joke website. I gave him a quote but suggested he should just make up a much better one and claim that I had said it - something of which I think Malcolm would have approved.

Last Saturday night, I went to see an unadvertised comedy/music gig at the Wibbley Wobbley, a (still just about) floating former Rhine cruiser now moored at Greenland Dock, Rotherhithe, by the River Thames in London. Regular readers of this blog will realise this was where comedian Malcolm Hardee drowned in January 2005 and that the Wibbley Wobbley was his floating pub/club.

We hope to stage the annual Malcolm Hardee Comedy Awards Show this year, as usual, on the final Friday of the Edinburgh Fringe - 26th August - but not in its normal venue of the Counting House Ballroom. This is because, today, The Gilded Balloon (a pay-to-enter venue) has 'poached' The Counting House venue(s) - including the Pear Tree and Blind Poet - from the Laughing Horse Free Festival and so we are looking for a new venue in which to host both the increasingly prestigious (but now homeless) Malcolm Hardee Comedy Awards and for the daily Grouchy Club.
