RAG Quiz (14/03/2010, 19:30)

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 15:20:30 Z

Come pit your wits against your fellow campus-dwellers every Sunday night at RAG's weekly charity quiz! For the rest of this term, it'll be in the Atrium of the brand new Warwick SU Building every Sunday evening.

The Terrace Bar will be open for drinks and you'll be able to bring them down into the Atrium.

Teams are a maximum of 8 people and it's £2 a head. Of course there'll be the traditional RAG Prizes (that means booze, sweets, DVDs and games). The quiz will be starting at 8, with team registration open from about half seven.

Remember, it's all for charity.

THE COMEDY NETWORK (FREE ENTRY!) (14/03/2010, 19:30)

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 13:21:07 Z

LLOYD LANGFORD

Winner of the Chortle Student Comedy award 2004 and nominated for the Chortle Best Breakthrough award in 2008, Lloyd is a former Warwick student who has worked as a staff writer on Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

TOM CRAINE

Since leaving university in 2006, Tom has performed in comedy clubs throughout the UK and clocked up an impressive list of radio & television credits. At the Edinburgh Fringe 2009 he debuted his first solo show, Tom Craine’s Comfort Blanket, as well as performing nightly in the critically acclaimed sketch group ‘Superclump’. This follows the huge success of his appearance in 2008 on the bill of the sold out AAA Stand Up Show.

"Tom Craine is the highlight of the show. Craine knows how to pack in the gags and covers topics ranging from terrorism to train toilets and slavery to strip-clubs, spontaneously jumping from one anecdote to the next with infectious enthusiasm. And, in what is a rarer skill for a stand-up, Craine’s unexpected punchlines keep the audience on its toes."
- (Beth Mellor) ED FEST MAGAZINE 2008

"Tom Craine's dynamic energy and fast pace show both his intelligence and razor-sharp wit...Vastly entertaining, this show proves that the AAA stand-up comedians have great things ahead of them."
- (Anna Fenton) THREEWEEKS

GARETH RICHARDS (compere)

Gareth Richards did his first stand-up comedy gig aboard "The Wibbly-Wobbly Boat" a notoriously rowdy venue in South London in 2004. Since then he has performed all over the UK pedaling his own unique brand of edgily surreal jokes and one-liners, and stories based on true events.

Gareth is developing a reputation for himself as a sharp writer and rock solid performer. His outsider viewpoint and appealing persona are already making him a favourite with audiences all over the UK!

POP! VARSITY SPECIAL feat STAVROS FLATLEY (17/03/2010, 19:00)

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:44:08 Z

Ohhhhhh, yes. By the time you're reading this, Warwick will no doubt be well on their way to tanking Cov Uni yet again in today's Varsity Match. They just never learn, do they? As is customary, we like to celebrate with a right old knees-up in the evening, and this year is no exception. In addition to drinks promos galore, as a special treat for St. Paddy's Day we're also shipping in those notorious Lords of the Dance - Stavros Flatley.

When this daft father-and-son act ran on stage at the Hammersmith Apollo for the Britain’s Got Talent auditions, nobody could predict what was to come. They became an overnight sensation, and were many people’s favourite to win the show.

It all started when Demetri owned a Greek restaurant in North London. The food was notoriously bad, but the cabaret performances were legendary! Donning a pair of leather trousers, Demetri and his lad took their act to telly. On Britain's Got Talent they wowed the judges, Simon Cowell admitting they were one of his "favourite ever dance acts". Turning in hilarious, infectious performances of Cry of The Celts, Lord of The Dance and Zorba The Greek, they went on reach the final, with Amanda Holden admitting they were her personal favourites.

With these jokers onboard for the night, things could get silly. Very, very silly...

END OF TERM CHOCOLATE FOAM PARTY (19/03/2010, 22:00)

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 12:40:03 Z

Bosh!

What better way to celebrate the coming of the Easter vacation than with a Chocolate Foam Party?! After years of wrangling with our insurance company ("Rah rah rah, public liability, rah rah..."), the Union will be hosting its first-ever Foam Bash on Friday of Week 10.

Make no mistake, this promises to be a good one. Get ready to be coated with a liberal helping of the bubbly stuff while DJs lash out the tunes into the early hours. Then traipse back to your halls and get ready to wake up in a soggy mess when your warden comes banging on the door at 8am sharp. Sorted.

With loads of free chocolate, easter eggs, and chocolate-scented foam frothing its way in your direction, this 'eggcellent' event will 'eggcite' you to the 'eggstreme'! [Get out - S.U. Pun Editor]

uLive presents EXAMPLE (11/05/2010, 19:30)

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 14:38:34 Z

Having already killed the crowd with the 'demonic overground club smash' (Sunday Times Culture) Hooligans and crossover Top 20 hit (and Radio 1 A-listed) single Watch The Sun Come Up, man of the moment EXAMPLE returns with an infectious new single Won't Go Quietly and forthcoming UK Tour.

Summer 2009 saw the explosive arrival of Example (Elliot Gleave to his friends and family) with his highly original take on life and a unique and musical style that is the thrilling collision of underground and overground.

Won't Go Quietly follows Watch The Sun Come Up as another scintillating slice of modern pop with edge about an obsessive relationship and underlines Example's status as one of the freshest new voices around.
