CCF12 PREVIEW: Committee Meeting

The Committee Meeting: Chris Corcoran and Elis James

Much as I like to spend a couple of hours being talked at in the name of entertainment, there is a huge delight in losing oneself in a concept show… which is what makes this offering from Chris Corcoran and Elis James such a brilliant night out!

The title tells all you need to know really: this show is played as a committee meeting, with Chris Corcoran taking the lead as chairman of the club and Elis James as Rex the caretaker whilst the audience become the club members contributing their own thoughts and opinions. Obviously the format is such that each meeting will be very different from the last, so you quite literally never visit the same show twice.

Of course, playing a show as dependent on audience contribution is always a risk, but the pair are so good at improvising and able to bring out the best in people that it just works really well and is definitely a show you should experience.



Gráinne Maguire

With a range of writing credits including The News Quiz, The Now Show and 8 Out of 10 Cats, Gráinne Maguire is equally confident whether tackling politics or telling tales of her home life. She is engaging and enthusiastic, with a charm about her that radiates to fill the room and a consistently paced delivery. She is definitely worth seeing if you get the chance, so head along to the Cardiff Comedy Festival for a preview of her 2012 Edinburgh show, ‘Where Are All the Fun Places and Are Lots of People There Having Fun?’
