Comic Friends Reunited date announced

By John Freeman on 24 June 2011

It may be months away, but the team behind Comic Friends Reunited have announced this year’s event will be Saturday 26th November 2011.

Taking place at the Phoenix Pub, 14 Palace Street, Victoria, London SW1E 5JA from Noon till 11.00pm entrance is free and comic fans will have the chance to enjoy a day of socialising and fun! Families welcome (there’s a garden for children).

“It’s a bit later than usual – we’re still experimenting with dates,” says co-organiser Hass Yusuf, who’s aide in this endeavour by Fiona Jerome, “but all you non-Londoners can use this opportunity for a bit of Christmas shopping!

“If you don’t know anyone there, don’t worry – we’ll introduce you to liked-minded people.”

The only scheduled event is the Comics Pub Quiz (approx 8.00pm in the upstairs function room). This year the quiz is being set and presented by Nigel Feltcher and Gavin Burrows – should be fun!
