Jesters Comedy Club

David Trew is just an ordinary bloke. After leaving college in the 80s he took up a career as a corporate salesman. He did well but hated it.So after moving to London to follow his sales career and having to be medicated to get through it he decided to set up a comedy club. He did this back in his beloved University (Polytechnic but who cares?) city of Bristol. How difficult could that be?Join David on his journey through the yuppie 80s and the early 90s as he made his comedy-club dream a reality. For a bloke with zero experience of running a club catastrophes were never far away. Despite many near (and a few actual) disasters the likes of Peter Kay Catherine Tate Alan Carr Jimmy Carr Sarah Millican Sean Lock Jon Richardson Dara OBriain Phill Jupitus Bill Bailey Russell Howard Marcus Brigstocke Rich Hall and many other (now) very well-known people performed at his club. These were the days when stand-up comedy was the new rock nroll. The glitterati types were yet to become household names.If only David had known this at the time he might not have worried so much.
