Calling all you beautiful pun lovers!<\/p>\n
Yes it’s that time again- I’m dusting off my joke book, striking up the house band and engraving another trophy as it’s time for the 4th Annual Champipunship at the 02 ABC in Glasgow.<\/p>\n
Anyone who knows me knows that I love a pun. And if you know that then you will know that I love this event. The night\u00a0can get heated, it will get tense, there will be laughs, there will be devastating groans and most importantly there will be plenty of opportunities for everyone \u00a0in the audience to get involved and prove once and for all just how good you are at puns.<\/p>\n Speaking of getting involved- if you fancy yourself as a potential Champipun, then make yourself known. Spaces are filling up but if you would like to compete,\u00a0or \u00a0you know someone else who would, then please contact me by EMAIL\u00a0me@garymcnair.co.uk<\/em>\u00a0or on TWITTER at @thegarymcnair as there are still a couple of spaces left to fill. Who \u00a0knows, you may be the next champipun of the word.<\/p>\n So, spread the word around your street, office, uni, family, friends and why not bring someone from the EU to show you love them and you still care.<\/p>\n Tickets are available from the ABC website www.o2abcglasgow.co.uk<\/p>\n THE 4th ANNUAL CHAMPIONSHIP
\nThe Champipunship\u00a0\u00a0is an evening of wordplay and highly competitive silliness originally started as a fundraiser to take\u00a0Donald Robertson Is Not A Standup Comedian\u00a0<\/em>to the\u00a0Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2014 but such was the popularity of the event, it is now\u00a0as a night of entertainment in it\u2019s own right.\u00a0
\n<\/em>
\nThe evening is simple. There are eight competitors who will be whittled down to two in a series of wordplay challenges including the wonderful picture and music rounds. I\u2019m delighted to confirm that this year the music will, once again, be performed by our ridiculously talented house band\u00a0The Pun Lovin\u2019 Criminals\u00a0<\/em>who have brought you such classic mashups in the past as\u00a0The Randy Newman League, Van Morrissey and James Taylor Swift.<\/em>
