What a sensational night - with a stunning sunset over Sandringham Yacht Club for the inaugural Bayside Comedy Extravaganza! With the room buzzing from the sell out crowd enjoying fabulous food and wine, and a hilarious show with unstoppable Marty Fields MCing, and with Bron Lewis, Richard Stubbs, Tom Siegerts and Greg Champion taking the stage there were lots of laughter and laughs per minute.
On behalf of the Rotary Club of Brighton - Thanks to everyone who attended who made the event a great success - as a brilliant night out and as a charity FUNdraiser! Special shout out and thank you to Norm Thomas and his committee for all their hard work and efforts. Report Jo Kwok
