Flannel! is a self-deprecating musical comedy night. Head down this Thursday to see if they\u2019re as adequate as they say<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Jeff

A team of comedians are performing at a musical comedy night on November 30. Flannel!, described as an evening of tolerable musical comedy, will have its first ever performance at The Big Top, starting at 8pm. <\/span><\/p>\n

The comedic evening is a group venture, the brainchild of Jeff Japers and double act Sheep & Mash. The duo, who perform under the stage names Martin Sheep and Mark Mash, are new to the comedy scene and met Jeff at their first ever gig. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jeff had the idea for Flannel! after being inspired by Sheep & Mash\u2019s performance. The three discovered a mutual love for both the Yamaha PSS 680 keyboard and alternative comedy acts. Flannel! was created to cater to these kind of acts. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe thought he was joking when he told us he wanted to start a night with us\u201d said Connor Ford, who performs under the name Martin Sheep, \u201cTruth be told we forgot all about it and had to cancel some really important stuff. It\u2019s really hard to reschedule an ingrown toenail removal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sheep

The event will be hosted by Sheep & Mash, with Jeff starting the night off with some anthropomorphic whimsy, aided by his ukelele, keyboard and a slide show. Also joining the evening are Sheep & Mash\u2019s Liverpudlian friends John & John, and the winner of this year\u2019s Welsh Unsigned Standup Award, Josh Elton. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jeff\u2019s band Gaudy Orde will be closing the night\u2019s activities. The local band, who count legendary musical comedian Spike Jones as among their influences describe themselves as fun and flippant. Their choices of instruments are certainly unconventional, counting a washboard, a <\/span>bazouki and the spoons amongst their arsenal. <\/span><\/p>\n

Despite this being their first event together, and the first ever performance of Flannel!, the team seem optimistic about the evening, promising that an evening of tolerable musical comedy is guaranteed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
