Laugh at First Sight: A Twenty Five Year Love Affair at Comedy
he brand new show from The Comedy Store cutting edge regular. It was July 1972. At Butlins Holiday Camp in Lytham St Annes a precocious lad of 12 took to the stage for the first time to take part in a talent contest. He was beaten in to third place but it didn’t matter…that boy, Steve Gribbin, had been well and truly bitten by the comedy bug, and had fallen in love. It was indeed Laugh At First Sight! Laugh At First Sight examines Steve’s torrid love affair with the comedic arts, detailing the ups, the downs, the stony silences, the euphoric highs, the sulphuric lows, the sheer unadulterated strangeness of a life devoted to that sternest of mistresses, comedy.
