APRIL 2016 I 30,000 COPIES
Welcome to your Lytham St Annes Magazine... With the weather picking up now, we hope you’ve had a great Easter! As we roll into another month you wouldn’t be considered an April Fool to advertise in the best local free media for your business and events. We’ve had a fantastic month in response to our new look. So thank you to our readers for your feedback – it means a lot to us, and we will continue to improve the magazine to meet the needs of local business and the community. This month I am personally doing up a property for my family, and using the trades and services within the magazine. They support us; we support them – as we all should support our local shops and services – KEEP IT LOCAL! Congratulations to our first ‘SPOT the Ad’ Winner: Emma Fletcher – £50 is on its way to you! For your chance to win £50, please check out our new competition inside. Our new Vegan Print business offers very competitive ethical printing to businesses across the Fylde Coast and beyond.

HARPER&PYE Carpets • Curtains Why choose Fitted? Bedrooms come in all shapes and sizes - often with distinguishing features. Chimney breasts, sloping ceilings and uneven walls add character, but they also cost you valuable storage space. We will redefine the living space for you, working with the room’s feature to realise its true potential. Wall to wall, floor to ceiling, our individually designed fitted bedroom furniture transforms even the most irregular bedroom.

Practical Philosophy Northwest
Free* Course Starts Thursday 28th April 2016 7:15pm to 9:30pm Lytham Methodist Church Hall Park Street Lytham FY8 5LU
Philosophy aims to set you free. Free from pressures and worries, free to grow, free to be more yourself. So it seems fitting that a philosophy course should itself be free. This 10-week introductory course in practical philosophy looks at life and its meaning, the world and its causes. It also considers what holds the individual back. What sets us free? Based on the classic philosophies of east and west, it invites students to see life as a place to test the words of the wise.
As places are limited you will need to enrol on-line at www.practicalphilosophy.co.uk. To enquire further please phone 0800 803 0799 or e-mail practicalphilosophy101@gmail.com *The course is completely free, however there will be a single payment of £5 to cover administration costs.

Comedian Ed Bryne at Lowther Pavilion Article by Veronica Lee Photograph by Roslyn Gaunt
M
ock the Week star Ed Byrne is an established touring favourite, and despite his youthful looks the Irishman recently marked up 20 years as a comic. His latest show of observational comedy, Outside, Looking In, (15th April at The Lowther Pavilion,) covers a wide range of subjects – from a recent gastric illness to the success of UKIP – but he talks a lot about his family and it’s his most personal yet.
“I didn’t make a conscious effort to write a more personal show, but that was what was coming out when I started writing it,” Ed says. “People come to see me for a laugh and I would like to think they go away thinking the show is quite heartwarming. A lot of comics may talk about the same stuff, but what makes it mine is that what I’m saying is what I genuinely think on this subject, and I try to make it as funny as I can. I think we all mine our lives to some degree or other.” Ed is adamant that he will keep his two young sons out of the celebrity spotlight, so don’t expect an “At Home With Ed Byrne and Family” in OK! any time soon. But in Outside, Looking In, he shows a picture of one of his sons - the denouement of a bittersweet story about buying new shoes – which not only illustrates it perfectly, but produces an “Aaaah” moment. “I’m aware that they haven’t given me permission to talk about them and that there will come a point when I can’t,” Ed says. “John Bishop, for example, has stopped talking about his [much older] children on stage because people know who they are. “I talk about them in pretty abstract terms, because what I’m discussing is the act of parenting, and you can’t talk about that without mentioning your own children. And there isn’t anything in this show that would make them at a later date say, ‘I don’t like this’.” But while there is a lot of personal reflection in his new
38
show, Ed also ponders on matters political - the story about his son sparks a passionate section about how we label young children, for instance, and he also talks about feminism and transgenderism. The feminist slant to the new show was sparked by Ed’s reflections on his early days in comedy and, strikingly, he admits to being a little uncomfortable about some of his more laddish material back then. “My comedy reflected my life at that time – single and enjoying myself – and most of it was fairly harmless ‘the difference between men and women’ kind of thing. But some of the stuff about an ex-girlfriend I can see was a bit angry and I wouldn’t do it now.” “I don’t how much of that is simply getting older, or that times have changed, or mixing with a broader group of people. Interestingly I find Twitter can expand your horizons; I’ve started following all sorts of people on it and it’s good to get a different take on things.” I ask Ed, 43, if he still likes touring after two decades. “Apart from the travel involved, which no comic likes, I love it, because you have people responding to something that you have written alone in your office, and the work comes alive in a room of people. I like the television things I do, but nothing can beat a live comedy audience.” Ed Byrne plays at Lytham St Annes’ Lowther Pavilion on 15th April
