Bringing laughter to the Roundabout club It’s Halloween ‘Reloaded’ at the Empire

by Tony Hendrix

The summer is drawing to a close and the nights are drawing in… which must mean that Halloween is just around the corner!

If you like a bit of Halloween fun there are a few Halloween events in Bedford this year that I'm sure will get many of you dressed up in those awesome creepy Halloween costumes to celebrate an event that sees the creeps come out to play in many towns and cities worldwide.

The first event that I want to cover is called ‘Reloaded’ to be held at the Empire Nightclub in Bedford.

Before I get into the details of this night I can guarantee that this will probably be the spookiest party in town. This notorious nightclub some 10 years ago when it was called Mission was actually built within a grave yard. I was fortunate enough to work at this stunning venue when it first opened up, I was completely blown away to see the head stones were still in place around the perimeter of the club.

Castle Comedy is launching a new club in Sandy. They are teaming with up with the iconic Roundabout Club venue, which has just undergone a big refurbishment to its upstairs function room. So, the stage is set to welcome some brilliant comedians and bring the laughter to Sandy!

Friday October 14, Castle Comedy Sandy at The Roundabout Club.

BOB MILLS is a bona fide comedy legend with over 30 years at the top of the UK circuit. You will recognise him from his cult classic 90’s TV show ‘In Bed with MeDinner’ and his presenting of ‘Win,Lose or Draw’ on ITV. He is one of the current stars of TalkRadio where he has his own show ‘Tragedy Plus Time’ where he talks comedy to the biggest stars in the country. Perhaps his biggest achievement in radio was being crowned BBC 5Live’s ‘Fighting Talk’ champion of champions in 2010.

“He’s a master of irony, and wears his world-weariness well, teasing and wrong-footing the youngsters in the front row, and passing comment on the changing face of comedy, from someone who’s seen it all!” CHORTLE
