Sell-Out Crowd for Comedy Masters Steve and Reece 5 The Archer - www.the-archer.co.uk APRIL 2019 Residents of Finchley Charities homes facing rent changes By Daphne Chamberlain From this month there will be a change in the weekly charges paid by residents of The Finchley Charities estates.

  • April 2014 Jilla Burgess-Allen Specialty Registrar in Public Health, Derbyshire County Council
    April 2014 Jilla Burgess-Allen Specialty Registrar in Public Health, Derbyshire County Council 1 Executive Summary Health Needs Glossopdale is characterised by its proximity to Manchester to the West and to rural Derbyshire to the East. The boundary issues, geographical location and relative lower level of need compared with the rest of Tameside and Glossop, has impacted on historical service provision within Glossop. Compared with the rest of Derbyshire, Glossop has a relatively high level of substance misuse-related health need. For example, both alcohol related and attributable mortality have, between 2007 and 2011, been higher in Glossopdale than in Derbyshire as a whole, and for alcohol attributable deaths the trend has been increasing in Glossopdale whilst it decreased county wide. Alcohol specific and attributable hospital admissions for men have also been increasing in Glossopdale. Alcohol-related community safety issues have improved in the area over recent years though the area still has a higher rate of alcohol-related violent crime than average for the police division. Class A drug use is seen as relatively low by service providers and agencies working in the area, but interviews with service users suggest there may be a greater problem than agencies are aware of. While service providers report declining prevalence, service users perceive a local increase and report that class A drugs are more available in the area than before. Cannabis use is reported to be high in the area and is perceived to be socially normalised. However, cannabis related offending rates are low. Substance misuse issues are less visible in the area compared to neighbouring Tameside & Greater Manchester, and stigma may play a role in this alongside less visible and accessible service provision.

  • Mark Gatiss Got His Ideas for the Medusa Touch
    FINAL CUT When cult TV comedy The League Of Gentlemen devoted an episode to bizarre SM games in a provincial B&B, it looked like someone on the team must have remarkable inside knowledge. So we sent Liz Tray to find out just where writer Mark Gatiss got his ideas for The Medusa Touch invention. It turns out that Mark based his character on a chance meeting at a wedding. “He was a photographer and would say things like [in sleazy voice] ‘I’d like to photograph you, you’re very beautiful – let me tell you about the recdum, a beautiful organ’. He actually said ‘recdum’ with a ‘d’!” So none of this remarkable tale was based on actual personal experience of the perv scene? Apparently not. “But,” Mark recalls, “I did cover a Dungeon In The Sky event for Boyz magazine about six years ago. I was not trying to be cynical but it was so funny.

Burn Gorman (Bleak House) plays the raw but charming medic, Owen Harper, and Naoko Mori (Absolutely Fabulous) is Toshiko Sato, the team member who specialises in all things technical.

  • Disabling Comedy: “Only When We Laugh!”
    Disabling Comedy: “Only When We Laugh!” Dr. Laurence Clark, North West Disability Arts Forum (Paper presented at the ‘Finding the Spotlight’ Conference, Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts, 30th May 2003) Abstract Traditionally comedy involving disabled people has extracted humour from people’s impairments – i.e. a “functional limitation”. Examples range from Shakespeare’s ‘fool’ character and Elizabethan joke books to characters in modern TV sitcoms. Common arguments for the use of such disempowering portrayals are that “nothing is meant by them” and that “people should be able to laugh at themselves”. This paper looks at the effects of such ‘disabling comedy’. These include the damage done to the general public’s perceptions of disabled people, the contribution to the erosion of a disabled people’s ‘identity’ and how accepting disablist comedy as the ‘norm’ has served to exclude disabled writers / comedians / performers from the profession. 1. Introduction Society has been deriving humour from disabled people for centuries. Elizabethan joke books were full of jokes about disabled people with a variety of impairments. During the 17th and 18th centuries, keeping 'idiots' as objects of humour was common among those who had the money to do so, and visits to Bedlam and other 'mental' institutions were a typical form of entertainment (Barnes, 1992, page 14). Bilken and Bogdana (1977) identified “the disabled person as an object of ridicule” as one of the ten media stereotypes of disabled people. Apart from ridicule, disabled people have been largely excluded from the world of comedy in the past. For example, in the eighties American stand-up comedian George Carlin was arrested whilst doing his act for swearing in front of young disabled people.
