Wow! What a great show we had Sunday afternoon at The Star of Kings with an absolutely packed and buzzing crowd. First to the stage was the hilarious Paul Little, the man with many significant memories thanks to Croydon. Declan Evans was next with why sometimes a Satnav doesn’t help the person it’s supposed to. It was then the turn of Samuel Love, the man whose penis was a Knight Templar in a previous life. Blowing us away with her first ever set was the incredible Hollie Wolfe who reckons cheap piercings have you rusting in the rain like a Poundland Hellraiser. We then had Cathy White who recently bought a sad lame and has spent weeks trying to cheer it up. Mac O’Donnell then had us wondering if James Cordon might just be a cautionary example before Phil Blackmore then called for gingers to protest their treatment and take to the streets…just not on any sunny days. After Phil was Mark Moloney who has a unique and shiny hairstyle. Closing the first half was Mark Nicholas and the joys of autism, being a twin, card counting myths and the awkward distractions created by trains.
After the break we got off to a great start thanks to Christopher Donovan and war, what’s it good for. Well, winning a few quid on Ladbrokes Eurovision accumulator, apparently. Raj Kukadia then told us he once trained to be a doctor…in a Bollywood movie. Valerie Steele then told us about her new job working with lats and twats at the gym. Stephanie Weiss had the room in stitches with a sexy tale of Elizabeth I’s fun at The Star before Amogh Margoor confessed that any time he feels homesick he just calls his bank’s customer service hotline. Luke Newman then told us what he discovered a prostate isn’t. The afternoon’s penultimate act was Calvin Smith (pictured). Calvin has found a very effective way to get extra “stage” time to work his sets. In other news, did you know The Samaritans aren’t allowed to hang up on you, regardless of your set overrunning? Closing the show was the brilliant Carwyn Blayney. Because of recent changes to rugby regulations regarding bellow nipple tackles, Carwyn is worried one of his elderly relatives might end up back on the rugby pitch.
Well, that was a really great afternoon. Headlining next Sunday we’ve two absolute crackers, the man who took second place in our recent All Stars competition, Declan Kennedy, and the one and only, tour de force of batshit craziness, the brilliant Colin D.H. Smith.
