Flock Comedy? Ken will fill in the details, but here’s a clue….

You’ve heard of a “pop-up” restaurant, well we’re a “pop-up”comedy club. We bring the lights, sound, stage and entertainment to your venue, whether that’s a village hall, a marquee, the back room of a club or even a conference hall.

We help good causes raise dosh through the medium of laughter. We run comedy tents at beer festivals and music festivals and we provide comedians for corporate events too. (From Flock Comedy website)

Paganini Caprice 24..with Commander -in-Chief and Craig Ogden

In the studio Berit Hagen (aka Commander-in-Chief) will  be telling us about her career..and there’s a lot to share!! And playing!!

In 2015 and 2017 she was an expert judge and vocal coach on Norway’s biggest Saturday night TV show “Battle of the Stars. “ with almost a million viewers.
