DANNY MCLOUGHLIN
"McLoughlin's main weapon is his audacity: he's so bold he can recite an advertising jingle and still get plenty of laughs"- Chortle

Danny McLoughlin has the sharp wit & material, likeable persona and strong stage presence that have seen him become a much sought after act in his short time as a stand up. A finalist in the Chortle Student Comedian of The Year in 2008, Danny went on to perform as part of the prestigious Big Value Comedy

Hi,

Can you take me off your mailing list please.

It's not that I don't like the comedy club in Sheffield - I've been several times and it's always been a wondrous hoot - however, I moved to Washington DC, USA about 2 years ago and while I love to have my sides thoroughly split from joyous laughter and much guffawing - unless you are willing to shell out the £700 flight and a couple of nights accommodation (I'll pay the £8 club ticket price, I'm not a monster) then the marketing emails just using up internet resources that could be better allocated for looking at lolcats or watching Gangnam Style remakes on youtube.

Thanks!

No problem, sorry used an old mailing list which I've now deleted.

We'll let you know if we can sort a benefit gig for the flight costs though.

Thanks - I will politely decline your offer, however, you should hold a benefit gig and use the money to invest in a decent email address - the last time I saw 'AOL' anywhere was when I used one of their free CDs as an emergency coaster back in 1999

lastlaughcomedy.co.uk should be able to allocate you an email address with their suffix that you could use via an SMTP/POP client or similar.  If they know how to do this kind of thing.  If not, I can walk them through it for the price of a return flight and 2 nights stay in the classiest hotel in Sheffield - Riverside Court.

Laters.
