Stoke comedy ROFL
Performance in Burslem Stoke UK ???????? this is a working class town that is fun to play but sometimes things go wrong. From the moment I stepped onstage I was heckled with pretty much just noises ???? then I kicked the mic cable out of the wall socket. As they say you can prepare and make plans but all of those plans get thrown away with first contact.
The years of experience pay off in situations like these
Still got to try my new chicken joke and it seems it works.
Behind the Curtain. ROFL Podcast EP 2
The show is recorded live, backstage at ROFL (Rolling On the Floor Laughing), the ONLY dedicated Comedy Club in Staffordshire and Cheshire, UK.
In this episode hosts Cokey and Franki Falkow talk to Tom Little about how dolphins and wolves are related and lucky underpants.
Tom Little is an award-winning comedian. He once won the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year, an award previously won by acts including Johnny Vegas, Rhod Gilbert and Jason Manford, and never stopped going on about it. His last Edinburgh show was nominated for the Amused Moose Comedy Award 2018 and he was also a BBC Radio New Comedy Award finalist. He never shuts up about that either.

Cokey and Franki also chat to comic legend and Filmmaker Dave Fulton about Aunt Jemima and Jack Daniels as well as racism, motorcycles and literature.
Dave started making a living doing stand-up comedy stateside back when there was only clubs and Letterman. He certainly never envisioned it would lead to living in London England and to have done shows in 25 different countries. When nothing else is going on he’s building motorcycles, climbing frozen waterfalls and looking after his adopted son.

Neil McFarlane
Neil started his comedy career in Scotland 16 years ago, where he remains a regular act at the highly-regarded Stand Comedy Clubs in Glasgow & Edinburgh.
He now performs in locations across the length and breadth of the British Isles, attracting widespread concern, and has also entertained international audiences in places as far-flung as Tenerife, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Romania, the Czech Republic, the two Channel Islands you can actually get to, Florida, California and Kent.
Neil reached the Scottish regional final of the BBC New Comedy Awards in 2001, so technically that means he's been on the telly (for the 7 people who had BBC CHOICE at the time). If you really want to stretch the point, he's also been on '15 to 1' twice, and has the dubious honour of being the only contestant in the show's history to have been told off by William G. Stewart for slouching.
In 2006 Neil came third in the Scottish Comedian of the Year competition and performed his first, sold-out, one-man show, 'Posh Glaswegian', at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, followed by his first full run in the Gilded Balloon at the Edinburgh Fringe; and his first solo show outside Scotland, at the Manchester Comedy Festival.
He moved to London to become a full-time comic in 2009, and March 2010 saw his fourth solo show at the Magners' Glasgow Comedy Festival, entitled 'Neil McFarlane is Still in Search of a USP'. In 2013 he performed 'Neil McFarlane's First Period' at the Bath Comedy Festival and the Brighton Fringe.
In 2012 Neil was a finalist in Jongleurs Comic Idol competition. He also wrote and performed his solo show Sightseeing With A Hangover at the Edinburgh Festival in August 2016
Regarding his acting experience, Neil played the role of Sandy Johnstone in 'Death of a Critic', a play by Keir McAllister produced at the Ramshorn Theatre as part of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival. ('Really rather good'. ROBERT DAWSON SCOTT, THE TIMES). Overall his acting experience has covered Shakespeare, comic monologues and sketches, a satirical revue and comedy play with music at consecutive Edinburgh festivals, and a range of acting across all media including broadcast commercials, as well as a modicum of corporate voice-over and presenting work. He's also contributed to Fred MacAulay's show on BBC Radio Scotland, not to mention the 'Alternative Sandwich Show' for SubCity Radio in Glasgow.

ABOUT DAVE:
Started making a living doing stand-up comedy stateside back when there was only clubs and Letterman. Never envisioned it would lead to living in London England and to have done shows in 25 different countries including Australia to Kazakhstan to Helsinki to Tokyo to Hong Kong and even Mumbai India but through all that I still find time to do the occasional show back in America.
