Dear I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue Mailing List Member

I bring news of the next set of recordings of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue for BBC Radio 4.  These recordings are distinct from the I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue Tour show, which many of you will have seen, or be about to see.

The dates are as follows:

1. Tuesday 16th October 2007 at the Concert Hall, Fairfield Halls, Croydon
TICKETS ON SALE FROM 10am on MONDAY 17TH SPETEMBER

Booking fees apply
(this venue inadvertently put the show on sale without asking me and sold some tickets before I asked them to take it off sale - there are still 900 tickets left though)

TICKETS ON SALE FROM 10am on MONDAY 17TH SPETEMBER

£1 booking fee is charged per ticket

There will be great demand for these tickets so make sure you book early on
the date the tickets come on sale.  We are limiting the number of
tickets any applicant may purchase to 4.  This is partly so ensure more
people on our mailing list are able to get tickets, and partly because in
the past, people have been re-selling their tickets at a profit on eBay,
which is very unfair on other mailing list members unlucky enough to obtain
tickets themselves.  Also - if you buy a ticket on eBay and the show is cancelled, the theatre can only refund the credit card used to pay for the ticket.  We have arranged that all the theatres will keep the details of the first 30 callers to miss out on tickets, so those with tickets who suddenly find they can't attend, will be able to re-sell them at the theatre's box office to a deserving member of the mailing list.

5. Finally, I have been asked by Warren Lakin, the partner of the late and much-loved Linda Smith, to draw your attention to a charity event being held at the Victoria Palace Theatre on Sunday 28th October.  It's to raise money for Ovarian Cancer Action, and ISIHAC were part of the line-up of the first event.  This show features some fine comedians who've appeared on ISIHAC, such as Jeremy Hardy and Phill Jupitus.  Here are the details:

'LINDA SMITH'S FAVOURITE THINGS (2)'
ALL PROCEEDS TO OVARIAN CANCER ACTION
Doors 6.00 p.m. Concert 7.00 pm to 10.00 pm

FOR TICKETS:
TELEPHONE THE VICTORIA PALACE BOX OFFICE 0870 1658787
£37.50 (STALLS AND DRESS CIRCLE) AND £27.50 (GRAND CIRCLE - up staircase)
Performers confirmed so far include:

Warren writes: "The content and the line-up of the 'Linda Smith Favourite Things' show will reflect some of Linda's favourite comedians, comedy sketches, music and musicians as portrayed in the new book; plus renditions by guest performers of Linda's own comic material from the first book 'I Think The Nurses Are Stealing My Clothes' (paperback published 4 October)".

And that's about the size of it.

With best wishes
