Phone no:01733 844307.

Colin and his staff will again have some excellent Ales on sale and also provide excellent meals. The pub resturant will again be closed off from the rally, but you are more than welcome to go into the pub for a sit down meal. Altho there will be non rally people there, so please be respectful to any non ralliests in the pub.

It is also advisable to book your meal in advance. You can even book your meal before the event if you wish (Phone number above). Colins resturant is very popular and often sells out, so be warned...

A few people said last year that his prices were expensive in the resturant, and they didnt buy the meal - Shame because if the did they would have realised that it is excellent value for money.

Colin has again offered to sponsor the Marquee, Stage & Flooring - and he and I hope everyone supports him in this. Colin and myself dont mind reasonable amounts of alcohol brought onto the CAMPSITE as long as it is consumed at your tents. Once you enter the secured show arena we would ask you to buy your alcohol from the bar. If we are as successful in 2009 as we were in 2008 Hopefully Colin will continue to sponsor the Marquee, Stage & Flooring.

Without his sponsorship of these the event would not go ahead as it costs more to hire than profit we made at 2008's fund raiser.

Onsite food waggon will be providing smaller meals, from normal rally food to a breakfast, veggie stuff, backed potatoes, french sticks, pasta ( On saturday the excellent roast again) ETC if you require more details please ring colin on above phone number.

Strict 500 limit so Pre-book advisable. (booking form in the anyspare change rally room on my website ) £15.00 Pre-Book £20.00 OTG

T-shirts £10.00 each & Patches £4.00 each (Please order with your Preebook) There may be a few left for sale on teh website, but to make sure please order withyour preebook tickets. There will again only be 100 patches for sale so its 1st come 1st served.

Smacked Arse Stand-Up Comedy at Creature’s
‘Any Spare Change’ Charity Rally


The Smacked Arse comedy show at the Any Spare Change Rally on the afternoon of Saturday May 16th 2009 will proudly feature;

 Christian Reilly:



At the age of 15, Christian Reilly joined a band to get laid. The Salvation Army had different ideas…
As former integral part of the Perrier award-winning show Otis Lee Crenshaw and the Black Liars, with comic/songster Rich Hall, Christian's career has taken him around the world three times. On his way, he received accolades at international festivals and numerous network TV credits in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Britain.
Now a solo stand-up performer and playing all the major comedy venues in his own right, Christian uses his dynamic guitar and vocal skills to target histrionic rock bands, musical theatre and morose indie musicians. He recently wrote and performed for 'That Was Then This Is Now' (BBC Radio 2) as musical counterpart to Richard Herring and Emma Kennedy, as well as giving his improvisation skills an outing on Radio 2's 'Jammin'.
Christian's comic songs, improvisations, sharp wit and youthful energy have delighted audiences wherever he performs. He appeared in Edinburgh in 2006, performing in the ever-popular 'AAA' at the Pleasance Courtyard.
"His stand-up is witty and heaving with punchlines…will win over all but the hardest hearts and minds." – Chortle
"This genuine, trendy, confident comedian has a natural talent for risky jokes, song and quips which you can't help laughing at! If you get the chance to see Reilly live, do so. He is not to be missed!" – Funny.co.uk
“Performed with high spirits and tongue-in-cheek energy. Christian Reilly [plays his] part with unashamed gusto... Sheer bravura and an awful lot of glitter” – The Stage

 Steve Shanyaski:



Steve walked out on a mind numbing office job and straight onto a comedy stage in the beginning of 2003, and has not looked back since.
Within half a year of his comedic birth he had made it through to the semi-finals of the BBC New Comedian of the Year, the North West Comedian of the Year Final, and later that year he had the honour of appearing on the BBC7 Radio Showcase “Spanking New”.
Since then he has added to his list of accolades by being named the Holsten Pils Comedian of the Year 2005, and the Birmingham Comedy Festival’s best breaking talent 2005.
A very charismatic and silly performer with a natural talent for spinning yarns, a fertile imagination, and a skilled musical background, his act combines as many elements as Steve can muster. A bucketload of charm and some surreal and silly material coupled with his brilliant comedy songs make Steve the ideal booking for any show.
Steve performed at one of Rick Hulse’s comedy gigs in Stockport in November 2006 and was immediately booked for Rick’s ‘Frog & Bucket Comedy Club Roadshow’ at You’ve Been Nabbed 16 in 2007. Since then he has also performed at The Welsh National Motorcycle Show 2007 and The Yorkshire Pudding rally 2008.
"Like a mixture between Eddie Izzard and Peter Kay... with a guitar." – Stockport Express
"The key to his act is that his vision is a delightfully skewed one." – Manchester Online
“His musical salute to Chav’s and Scallies is pure genius.” – Rick Hulse

 Roger Monkhouse:



Roger Monkhouse is one of the most original and distinctive acts on the comedy scene. A consummate stand-up who employs a deadly combination of charm and menace to exert a masterful control over any audience. A highly original and quirky performer, Roger's trademark stage-prowling style and curious, inimitable manner have established him as one of the hottest names on the comedy circuit.
Distinguished as a comic by his eloquence and keen eye for a fine phrase, Roger's easy observational style is spiked by the signal flares of an accomplished gag writer.
As one of the most sought after acts on the comedy circuit, Roger headlines at all the major comedy venues and has performed extensively throughout the United Kingdom and Internationally, most recently performing in Belgium, The Netherlands, South Africa, China, Singapore and the Middle East.
A fine topical writer and performer, and master of sharp observational comedy, Roger is a regular member of the prestigious and critically acclaimed 'Cutting Edge' team at the London Comedy Store. He also performed with the Manchester based topical and satirical team 'MEN at Work' at the Manchester Comedy Store. His forte is delivering intelligent, thought provoking material that pulls no punches and is always incisive, relevant and up to date. Articulate, quick witted and spontaneous, if something's in the news, Roger has a routine about it.
"Some of the material's saucy - and uncompromisingly so - other parts are passionate and polemic. He's sometimes topical, sometimes punny. Sometimes clever, sometimes daft. There is, in short, something in this varied comedy menu for every taste…a gifted natural…one of the consummate professionals of the stand-up circuit" – Chortle
"packs in more observations on the human condition in a twenty minute set than a whole lecture on Jean-Paul Sartre" – Venue Magazine
"an enthusiasm akin to that of an excitable professor who's just found the gene that would enable a python to grow a beard" – Manchester Evening News


 Rick Hulse (Host & Compere):



Rick Hulse's comedy style is brash, uncompromising and down-to-earth. Though the language can be raw, his insights into the world of, dieting, drugs, marriage, sex, and motorcycling never fail to entertain.
 Having a twisted philosophical view on just about any subject, from ranting against life’s inequalities to musing on the design of human genitalia, makes for an unpredictable show. His long involvement in the biking scene, seventeen years as the Chairman of the NABD and thirteen years of writing comic fiction and manic articles under such names as Professor Pierre O’Bollox, M Phetamine and Shirley Crabtree, together with his off-hand Mancunian manner have made him a firm favourite in hosting bikers parties and rallies.
If you are looking for political correctness bring a microscope. Rick’s acerbic Mancunian wit bulldozes its way through life, the universe and everything (everything sex or alcohol related anyway).
“If you need a good comedian for your rally, just get Rick Hulse. He’s as funny as f**k!” – 100% Biker Magazine
 “Rick Hulse once again had the crowd in hysterics” – BSH Magazine
 “Despite the scary appearance, Rick Hulse proved to be an affable chap with a wry wit” – Manchester Evening News
