Time to clean up your act
Pizza Express on Abbey Road recently hosted the ‘Clean Up Your Act’ comedy night sponsored by Elias, London’s Premiere Dry Cleaners. Each contestant had to use only clean material which had to original, so quite a task. This was one of the early heats for the competition and it was most definitely a success.
There were six acts and a panel of four judges, who had the deciding vote on who would win the heat. The Judges agreed that choosing a winner was a tough job as each contestant had many comedy strengths from stage presence to timing.
In the end and after careful consideration, the successful contestant chosen by the judges was Ellie who won the judges over with her clever and confident routine which even managed a well sculpted joke about the process of dry-cleaning; a very funny reference to the sponsors of the event.
Pizza Express provided an excellent venue for the event, with a conservatory area for the customers to sit in looking up to a stage area where the comedians performed. The restaurant was full with customers who had arrived to enjoy a night full of humour and good food and drink and they were provided with exactly that
Elias dry cleaners have 6 stores around London, in areas such as Kensington, Knightsbridge and St. Johns Wood and later this year will be opening a 10,000sq/ft factory in Docklands.
The company has been established for over forty years since 1971, and customers travel from around the globe to use their services. Mr. Elias spoke of his client list reading as a ‘who’s who’, with clients bringing in designer clothes and bags to be cleaned and reconditioned, along with more unusual items such as 6ft teddy bears. Mr. Elias and his General Manager informed me that they will continue to expand their business, whilst remaining focused on maintaining the prestigious reputation that they have built for themselves.
