    26 March 1993 at 
    Covent Garden Community Centre (182)
    Immortalised on the earliest video recording of an A&S show at Covent Garden Community Centre – which reveals that the ‘special guests’ promised on the flyer are, in fact, Joe Cairo. Looks like a good, freewheeling evening, with JCC on top form, and still doing the same jokes that he ...

    The Outsiders

    27 February 2004 at 
    Battersea Arts Centre (London - Wandsworth) (498)
