Last night some of the production team and I went to a Comedy night at a pub in Maidstone called the Walnut Tree.
Every thursday they have a different comic come along for a 40 minute set. Although only a small local pub, The Walnut Tree is a notoriously tough gig on the comedy circuit and has been running comedy nights for many years, seeing big named comedians such as Al Murray, Jo Brand and Graham Norton, kick start their careers from their first sets at the pub.
Yesterday afternoon, some of the team payed a visit to the pub to speak to the Landlord/lady about filming some material during the comedy set which they were more than happy for us to do. Once we got there, we were introduced to the comedian, David Whitney, explained what Punchlines is about and what we're after, and discussed what we would like to film and why.
Our promo team got some great footage during the set, and also some interview pieces with the production team too. We sat and had a chat with David after his very funny set, and discussed possibilities of him becoming part of our show and exchanged some contact details.
