.........................<br />
We could all do with some light<br />
enterta<strong>in</strong>ment just now, so how about<br />
some rib-tickl<strong>in</strong>g comedy courtesy of<br />
<strong>Lichfield</strong> Festival (8th-18th <strong>July</strong>)?<br />
George Egg mixes great gags with gourmet food (which<br />
you get to taste at the end), newcomer Sam Lake br<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
his new show Cake, and Sexy Lamp is <strong>Lichfield</strong> ex-pat<br />
Katie Arnste<strong>in</strong>’s award-w<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g show. There’s stand-up<br />
from the ‘best haircut <strong>in</strong> comedy’ Tom Ward, and<br />
guaranteed laughs from Just<strong>in</strong> Moorhouse (star of Peter<br />
Kay’s Phoenix Nights) on the Festival’s last night.<br />
Festivals are a chance to make new discoveries and the<br />
Young Artists’ series features a hand-picked selection of<br />
<strong>in</strong>credible talent and a variety of <strong>in</strong>struments which don’t<br />
always get their fair share of the limelight. Festival<br />
Director Damian Thantrey picks out a trombone recital<br />
by Kris Garfitt (Friday 16th <strong>July</strong>) as a case <strong>in</strong> po<strong>in</strong>t.<br />
“It’s not an <strong>in</strong>strument I knew much about but I’ve been<br />
do<strong>in</strong>g my homework and really had my eyes – and ears –<br />
opened by the sound and writ<strong>in</strong>g. This is def<strong>in</strong>itely my<br />
‘surprise yourself’ recommendation of the Festival,” he<br />
says.<br />
Ionel Manciu (viol<strong>in</strong>), Toby White (cello), Lucy<br />
Humphris (trumpet), The Mithras Trio and National Youth<br />
Jazz Orchestra Qu<strong>in</strong>tet are just some of the other<br />
fabulous musicians <strong>in</strong> the series.<br />
