You may remember that one of our cunning plans during Silver Surfers’ Day was to run a Joke Roll – an opportunity for people to tell jokes online, and then to ask the gentlemen from Silver Comedy to pick a winner. Well, they picked three winners !
Overall winner, Wendy White’s joke was sweet and simple and about a Grandad. It won her a £25 Amazon voucher. Contributors of the
Computer Joke and the Nelson Joke won £15 and £10 vouchers, respectively. Click here to view all three on YouTube.
Chris and George of Silver Comedy were the judges; thanks to them, and for their superb idea about Comedy Courses for Older People. Here’s a note from them:
‘If you and friends want to have a real laugh, learn stuff about comedy and develop in confidence and creativity contact Silver Comedy and we’ll see what we can offer. Here is our website: http://www.silvercomedy.co.uk/work.html .
‘Silver Comedy creates a variety of opportunities for older people to become actively involved in comedy. We work with groups of people who want to have fun together while developing their skills in comedy. This can include many things such as stand up, comedy writing, clowning and improvisation. As well as having some fun, you can meet other people and be creative. You can be either a complete beginner or you may want to develop or re-awaken your own skills in comedy. We can create a course for you, your friends and other like minded people that suits you.
‘And, if you live in a group setting, for example in supported housing, your organisation may be interested in helping residents to obtain specialist training in comedy performance or writing. You can also ask them to contact us on your behalf. We are more than happy to come to your home and offer training sessions in your own supported housing scheme.
‘You can contact either of us to get more information as follows:
