 GN Online: 'Laughter is a gut reaction'
He realised that The Store had to move with the times, otherwise it would have gone bust years ago, and those acts would have one less place to go.
The Comedy Store became the first and is still the only full-time Comedy venue in the UK, offering stand-up comedy, improvisation (through acts played by Comedy Store players) and, from 1990, the best in topical satire when the 'Cutting Edge' team was formed.
Believers in stand-up comedy advocate it as one of the best art forms as it has, since inception, retained its capacity to surprise and shall always retain its immediacy.

 Guardian Unlimited | Arts features | Interview: Jo Brand
This small diminution, apparently, is down to the fact that she took a somewhat protracted maternity leave; protracted because, having astounded everyone by getting married, she then had not one baby but two, in unseemly proximity to one another, and has been mothering away like billy-ho in the wilds of Shropshire since.
Now she's back where she belongs, in south London (hooray), and has this brilliant new bra which means, instead of blinding 14-year-old boys as she goes about her business, she can now blind fully grown men, unless she wears the nursing one, when she can only blind cats with short legs.
These were the days of alternative comedy and the burgeoning of stand-up venues that were effectively pubs where you could fill your boots and have your status as the life and soul of the saloon bar formalised with a little stage and a hand microphone.
