Brings back a few memories for me. Used to go there regularly in the early 80's to see the Fundation; Joe Griffith, Hale & Pace, Terry Morrison, Victy Silva et al. Used to be a great night out. Always thought Hale & Pace were quite lame when they made it big; their best stuff was done at the Fundation IMO. Brilliant selection of real ales then too.
That's fine six-a bag because the Compere still refers back to the "great history of comedy" at the Tramshed. Its a good nite out if anyone is stuck on a Saturday at the end of the month.
Also loved the 70's/80's acts, and Splodgenessabounds was always a great laugh! :)
Yes, indeed. Joe Griffiths, Hale, Pace and Morrison at the weekend and Splodgenessabounds whenever they were in town - what a combination! Max Splodge still plays, but not with that formidable band of Baby Greensleeves, Winston Forbe, Desert Island Joe etc.

didn't know about these nights, ta for mentioning them. (there's no history here, but there's also comedy nights in Plumstead these days - they'll be having running water around there soon! :-))

Sorry C4E you did say NOW!! Just ignore me.
Yes I got called up on stage with Hale & Pace a couple of times.
The Fundation was always a good night..... I always seemed to enjoy Victy Silva's outfits, as for the Ale, I had some serious hangovers, I always seemed to volunteer to get in early and secure a table.....

Whats that funny noise ?
What's that funny noise? Might be my ex-girlfriend. I remember falling in love with a female plumber from Harlesden, NW10.

Great days!
