In fact these Comedy Loft line ups follow the same unbeatable format with a compere three comedians on the line up in a venue that transforms into a nightclub after the laughter & giggles have died down. Expect to see some names & faces from the telly or radio hear some of the finest underground acts of the day meet some brand new budding comics & generally have a right laugh As ever these soirees are for over 18s only so don't expect it to all be 'family friendly' comedy & jokes that you can repeat the next day around the dinner table

We are offering tickets for weekend Comedy Loft nights for two or four people & our advice for keen comedy fans is to get there early so you can get your drinks in before the show starts or grab yourself a bite to eat.

These themed demos & cookery courses in Suffolk take place at a modern cooking academy near the centre of Ipswich. For these courses that aim to make cooking fun you'll be learning from the owner & chef Mark David ably assisted by his wife & business partner Annie who also is the organising force behind these courses. As well as creating & leading courses & workshops Mark David has exceptionally wide cookery experience including hotel & outside catering as well as swanky corporate events in the Suffolk area & beyond. He spent three years as an Egon Ronay inspector & a further year as restaurant manager at Robert Carrier's acclaimed Hintlesham Hall hotel. He now runs this his own cookery school & is a regular author & broadcaster on all matters culinary. His light-hearted unpretentious approach to his courses has earned him a reputation in Suffolk as one of the best cookery teachers out there. & indeed the emphasis at this very high-tech purpose-built school is on quick & easy entertaining with dishes to tempt the palate but without stressing you out in the kitchen. All full cookery courses involve making bread two starters two mains & two desserts & maybe a couple of classic accompaniments to a meal such as risotto or a terrine & you will be working in teams in your own 'pod' cooking area whilst the themed evening sessions are run as informative demos where you observe the culinary action. So in essence on the full day cookery courses you learn through actually making the dishes yourself whilst the demonstration evenings are all about kicking back relaxing & watching
- & perhaps going as far as volunteering if your chef host asks for a helper
- as everything from Gazpacho & Gambas to Tarka Dal & Thai Chicken Stir Fry is being prepared before your very eyes. You'll discover these cookery courses in Suffolk are as much about tasting food & wine as they are about actually making the dishes. We think this is one of the friendliest cookery schools we have on the books & you're sure to have a fun & memorable day or evening being entertained by Mark & his team in their swanky demo kitchens. Don't forget to check our main cookery courses page for similar courses in other areas of the country.
