Tonight's host makes quite a song and dance about the free comedy at Heist.

Five comedians! A host! Free? Yes! Free! What a shame then, this particular evening, that no-one gets their money's worth.

Richard King's warm-up does no favours for opener Lou Sanders, who can't read the notes on her hand well enough to string her material together.

It picks up a little when she is relieved by Robert White, who quite literally makes a song and dance of his frantic set and just about justifies his extra five minutes.

Chris Brazier's set, mercifully, is five minutes in total. When I add up all the minutes I've given, it feels like an expensive evening.

There are different acts every night though folks, so roll up.
