May 1999 was the month when local BBC regional news featured Virginmirth as the place a brand new standup - Nick Law - was to try his first ever comedy spot. Record crowds, right up to the fire regulations limit (some even turned away!) and a great night, especially for Nick.
This clip shows Nick's pre-gig preparation, Virginmirth Comedy Club in full swing, and Nick performing a highly creditable debut gig.
