Note: After all the summaries, best to scroll down & read from the bottom up, as they've provided a running commentary on the night from the bottom upwards..

MATT KIRSHEN SUMMARY – aah man, tough gig. First comic on, on an unknown format, hostile crowd. MK book-ended a woefully slowly-typed anecdote with two great one-liners. Other comics take note! Well done Matt though.

ROB HEENEY SUMMARY – the pace went up, the gag rate went up, the laughs went up, the heckling went DOOOOOOOOOWN. One-liners all the way from Heeney, including quite a few good punny ones. Good work Mr Heeney!

CARL DONNELLY SUMMARY – posted YouTube link of him on stage, buggered off. Cheeky bugger! 10 out of 10 for imagination though.

MITCH BENN SUMMARY – stole the show and probably kept any sceptics around for the second half. Rewrote the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody to take the piss out of Twitter and people's desperation to accumulate followers. Re-tweets aplenty for: 'So you think you can spam me and twit in my eye/So you think you can love me and not @stephenfry'. Top stuff!

GARY DELANEY SUMMARY – Cracked through the one-liners and silenced the hecklers. Didn't address the followers really which made it a be machine-y, but the number of re-tweets shows he's done the bizzo here.

TERRY SAUNDERS SUMMARY – Saunders down to a tee: a self-deprecating anecdote (about getting his poorly bollock checked out at the doc) wonderfully worded, went all multimedia on our ass (Spotify and twitpics) and untainted by hecklers. Particularly enjoyed: "'That's a clump of veins that might be causing the aching.' I said 'CHOOSE YOUR WORDS MORE CAREFULLY PLEASE, DOC.' Applause applause!

PAPPY'S FUN CLUB SUMMARY – It worked for PFC, but only just. Four people tweeting through one Twitter account, a running gag about Michael Jackon's Thriller, twitpics, one-liners – there was almost too much going on and it was difficult to follow, but if you concentrated, it was quality, silly, juvenile, funny stuff!

MARK WATSON SUMMARY – Excellent end to the evening, plenty of great lines after trying to drop a load of comedy bombs (Jews, blacks, women etc) at the start. Proved himself to be a top comedy writer.

11.00 The post-gig comments are almost unanimously positive (@markrs "Please definitely another one", @CodingMonkey It was a great Comedy Set on #tcgig More events like this please! "Twitter Comedy was a bit mad but I enjoyed it" by someone else), so you have to say tonight has been a success! Is it funnier than going to a normal comedy night? No, of course not, but how on earth could it be, it was an experiment and should be treated as such. So hats off to @tiernandouieb again!

10.59 And that's it! The first ever Twitter Comedy Club is over, only 90 minutes after it was scheduled to end!

10.57 MW Big finish from Watson: "Why does Cliff Richard never die? Is God keeping him alive to inspire us? Or just putting off having to meet him?" Superb.

10.55 MW People are getting chatty now. I don't think it's boredom, MW has been pretty good, I think it's newcomers who've arrived not knowing to shut the f*ck up. Watson accelerates with a thought about his Dad: "He used to say, 'You can't make an omelette...' (pause) Very pessimistic man."

10.52 MW He's plundering the on-liners to good effect: "Other poor sequels: 'Dude, Seriously, Just Take Me To My Car'"

10.50 MW Perhaps unsurprisingly, Watson's getting plenty of attention re his Welsh accent. They obviously don't know that he puts it on for effect...

10.49 MW Oh FFS, the guy who heckled the heckler has now just told Mark Watson that he heckled his heckler for him. Sigh.

10.48 MW Heckler gets heckled shocker! Prolific/unpopular heckler Tweckler is now getting berated by other followers. Meanwhile, Watson soldiers on: "Four or five jokes already. This is better than I've ever done on Mock The Week"

10.46 MW He's taking the piss out of South Africans now. Hmmm, where do I stand on this... ~strokes chin~?

10.43 MW Woah there! He's going for the shock tactics. Sample vocab so far: "blacks, Jews, women, rape". Good job the material's good. I suspect a few hecklers might get chatty though...

10.42 MW Not a text book start. Watson got the wrong hashtag for his opening gags.

10.41 MW Tonight's headliner – Mark Watsoooooon!

PAPPY'S FUN CLUB SUMMARY – It worked for PFC, but only just. Four people tweeting through one Twitter account, a running gag about Michael Jackon's Thriller, twitpics, one-liners – there was almost too much going on and it was difficult to follow, but if you concentrated, it was quality, silly, juvenile, funny stuff!

10.37 PFC Well Terry Witter tried to single-handedly take down Pappy's, a lone heckler prowling the thread. PFC just took the piss out of him and buggered off. Nice.

10.36 PFC Oh hello. Pappy's are re-tweeting a heckler's heckles! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.

10.34 PFC It's all happening – they've got visuals, running jokes and all sorts happening. The hecklers are silent but are they just confused?

10.30 PFC To be honest, the pictures in themselves are pretty funny! Like this

10.28 PFC Pappy's are doing a quality sketch of there's that's very visual, it's kinda working with the twitpics, but it needs to be more, you know, ~snaps fingers snaps fingers~ snappy.

10.25 PFC It looks like Pappy's agenda-less larking is the order of the day. A nudey picture and a few super plays on words so far – "We even wrote a sketch about Twitter. Unfortunately the cast is too big. It's got 140 characters in it."

10.22 PFC The mighty Pappy's are here!

TERRY SAUNDERS SUMMARY – Saunders down to a tee: a self-deprecating anecdote (about getting his poorly bollock checked out at the doc) wonderfully worded, went all multimedia on our ass (Spotify and twitpics) and untainted by hecklers. Particularly enjoyed: "'That's a clump of veins that might be causing the aching.' I said 'CHOOSE YOUR WORDS MORE CAREFULLY PLEASE, DOC.' Applause applause!

10.16 TS Poor lad has actually got something wrong with his testicle. Perfect subject for comedy, as it turns out.

10.12 TS Jesus Christ this song is absolute filth.

10.09 TS Ahahahahaha! Fantastic! Saunders has invoked Spotify! He is talking about getting his bollock out to an attractive young doctor, and has linked to that seedy "oh je t'aime" track by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin http://open.spotify.com/track/4HIjW90Up9lXAxAmdxTa72

10.07 TS Note to Kirshen: this is how you tell a story on a web gig

10.05 TS Splendid turn of phrase and a typing speed of 74 wpm is the answer. Go Terry!

10.03 TS Ok so we have Terry Saunders, whimsy behemoth and not a man with a shoebox-ful of one-liners, what's he got up his sleeve?

10.02 Tiernan's just called Tweckler a cunt.

GARY DELANEY SUMMARY – Cracked through the one-liners and silenced the hecklers. Didn't address the followers really which made it a be machine-y, but the number of re-tweets shows he's done the bizzo here.

9.58 GD This is relentless! Delaney's rattling through these gags quicker than anyone else so far, most of them far above car sticker standard. How many of these does he have in store? Particularly like: "Bit disappointed by Walt Disney On Ice. It's just an old bloke in a freezer.

9.54 GD Hecklers have gone quiet. It's all re-tweets now.

9.52 GD Sterling stuff from Delaney! Groaners galore. Stand out lines: "As kids we always used to play 'Knock Down Ginger'. The hard part was getting hold of a car." "Hunting elephants for ivory. Tsk tsk."

9.50 GD Oh dear, one of the most prolific (and occasionally very funny) hecklers, Tweckler, has taken Tiernan's telling off a liiiiiiitle bit personally, calling him "toxic". Come on now, we've all had a coffee.

9.49 GD Ladies and gents we have taken a right-turn into One-Liner Street. "Just seen a picture of Freud's mum. She's hot!" "I used to play around with time machines when I was older."

9.45 GD Aah the perils of Twitter Comedy Club, Delaney's otherwise nice one-liner about Jimmy Saville kiboshed by a typo. "One letter was on the start of it." Too true.

9.41 TD Ok so Tiernan's warming us all up for the second half. And we have our first BNP ref of the night: "In mythology, the Griffin is part lion, part bird. Yet Nick Griffin of the BNP is all cock." He's again gathering the masses to mass tweet a celebrity, either Lily Allen, 50 Cent or Ashton Kutcher.

SECOND HALF

9.25 That's the interval, quite a first half, we've had story, one-liners, YouTube and music (of sorts). See you in ten minutes for Gary Delaney, Terry Saunders, Pappy's Fun Club and Mark Watson.

9.19 MB Sample lovin' for Benn "@charliejamison @MitchBenn - Genius!! -typed applause ensues-" "@Mogradjinn Oh, yes; that'll be how you make the experiment work! Applause Applause"

9.17 MB "So you think you can spam me and twit in my eye/So you think you can love me and not @stephenfry" Superb!

9.15 MB This is good stuff from MB! Takign the piss out of Twitter through the medium of Twitter and classic Queen.

9.14 MB Benn rewriting Bohemian Rhapsody, seems to have silenced those disgruntled with Donnelly. Sample lyric: "Mama ooo-oooo-oo- (send out for a pi-zza) I don’t want to tweet, I sometimes wish I’d never logged on at all…"

9.12 MB Shit we've got a quick typer here!

9.11 MB Final act of 1st half. Musical comedian "bending his own rules tonight" He's rewritten lyrics of famous songs for hopefully amusing effect.

CARL DONNELLY SUMMARY – posted YouTube link of him on stage, buggered off. Cheeky bugger! 10 out of 10 for imagination though.

9.08 CD Sense of humour failure from @pjie2 "Good reason to avoid this guy's gigs in future" Your loss mate, Carl Donnelly's quality.

9.07 CD ~taps mic~ Carl?

9.04 CD Errrm, looks like Carl Donnelly has actually buggered off after posting that YouTube link! Audacious. He's really messing with the format, folks.

9.01 CD BRILLIANT! Donnelly posts this link as a handy time saver. Superb!!

9.00 CD Carl Donnelly promises to "kick this monkey into space". He's referring to the gig.

8.58 ROB HEENEY SUMMARY – the pace went up, the gag rate went up, the laughs went up, the heckling went DOOOOOOOOOWN. One-liners all the way from Heeney, including quite a few good punny ones. Good work Mr Heeney!

8.56 RH First twitpic! However, it's to show how RH met Valentino Rossi, at the expense a big finishing gag. Shame but otherwise top stuff from Heeney. Aussies are out of the Twenty20 World Cup by the way, in case this venn diagram of tastes exists.

8.54 RH This is going down well. @Draethon Robheeney "This is brilliant. You are win"

8.52 RH These are groaners. Quality sagging a little though ("I saw a Vampire kettle the other day. Grrr ... that really makes my blood boil!).

8.49 RH Crash! " My granddad died while reading in the bath - although it was his fault as it was a Word for Windows document." And the crowd go wild! In your face Kirshen!

8.48 RH They keep on coming! 'I'd love to know what Ripley would make of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter"'

8.46 RH Bang! Rob Heeney straight in there with wordplay on disabilities and Poles, crowd seems to be loving it!

8.44. Oh Tiernan, kick a man while he's down – puts Kirshen's typing speed down to him "having child's hands".

8.42 MATT KIRSHEN SUMMARY – aah man, tough gig. First comic on, on an unknown format, hostile crowd. MK book-ended a woefully slowly-typed anecdote with two great one-liners. Other comics take note! Well done Matt though.

8.41 @Tweckler's back. "Cant you tweet a jpeg of a Wotsit that looks like a willy?"

8.38 MK admits he grossly over-estimated his typing speed – made me laugh, get off now and end on a high!

8.35 MK turning to psychiatry rape to pull gig round.

8.32 MK still telling story. @Tweckler "Oi, mattkirshen, you look like a metrosexual Ben Stiller." Compliment?

8.30 MK still telling story. Hecklers going in for kill. @iaingilmour "maybe a touch typing course would have helped!!" @TheDarrenxshow "bet this idea looked better on paper". Cripes.

8.27 MK telling a story. Hecklers circling.

8.22 MK off to a flyer with a fine one-liner: "So I was in a limbo competition and the music started 'How low, can you go?' I said 'I once stole a dialysis machine'".

8.18 First comic is on Matt Kirshen! Not often a comedy night is running late before the first act is on, but it is a night of firsts so why not tonight.

8.15 Tiernan is encouraging followers to badger some celebrity tweeters, starting with Kutcher and Moore. Couldn't happen to a nicer couple.

8.14 Splendid heckle from Rob Heeney "#tcgig I can't believe Tiernan's over-running ... I've a double-up on Myspace to get to!"

8.10 We have our first twitter gag hoorah! Pun on RTchoke. Can't teach that.

8.07 Tiernan still valiantly fighting through the dumb-ass spammers, sticking to his set without resorting to e-violence. Admirable.

8.02 Your host for this evening Tiernan Douieb just sweeping the stage for any e-detritus. Honestly, you don't get this at the Comedy Store.

7.59 Good luck folks, here we go!

7.55 Tiernan Douieb must be stood just off-stage, shaking out the nerves now, come on T-Dogg, you can nail this baby!

7.52 Still a lot of people spamming tonight's hashtag #tcgig. GET OFF THE STAGE! ~fetches bouncers~

7.47 So who is going to fare best? We have sketchers Pappy's Fun Club - apparently utilising twicpic tonight - storyteller Terry Saunders and straight stand-ups like Carl Donnelly. Perhaps Gary Delaney is best equipped with an army of one-liners.

7.40 Pre-gig nerves. Mssrs Donnelly and Saunders already admitting that they'll be winging it. Aah you'll be fine. "Good luck to everyone, break a virtual leg fellas! Good luck to everyone, break a virtual leg fellas!" says co-comic Tony Cowards.

7.36 WOWSERS this is exciting! Twitter Comedy Club starts at 8pm, we will have the feed appearing below. LondonisFunny will be also be here to pick out the best bits, and provide brief summaries if you missed any of the show.
