Wednesday nights G&B is at its spiritual home, Arch One . First to the stage at The arch was the hilarious Emmy Fyles and just what is it with single guys and their one, solitary pillow: they come in packs of two! Next was Mr Corporate himself, the man behind the corporate speak, Phillip Cornwall and just what to do with those five minutes you get back at the end of a meeting. Next was Amit Mistry, who came out to his parents a few months ago…as a comedian. They’re hoping it’s just a phase. Seraj Alijan was next with the shocking news that you can have more than one circumcision! It was then over to David Hawes and some cannabis Russian roulette and the height of Everest…when fully erect. After David was Tony Carr, the man with the NHS loyalty card for “extras”. It was then over to the fabulously glam Amber Phillips (pictured) and the true price of love. £1.99, if you’re interested. Closing the first half was the brilliant Harun Musho’d. Harun’s a big fan of comedy genius Matt Hancock and is hilarious work of slapstick fiction: Matt Hancock’s Pandemic Diaries.
After the break we got off to a great start thanks to Craig Jaffa, whose German may not be extensive, but it is interesting. It was then the turn of Tom Vousden whose soya milk stains on his journal answered for him what kind of man he is. James Allen then told us of just how supportive his mother has been of his comedy. Well, she laughed in his face anyway. The evening’s penultimate act was Annabelle Minkova, who still manages to look like someone who once queued for Harry Potter books and merchandise. Closing the show was the magical Adam B who just couldn’t get rid of cards before giving the audience the needle.
So that was last night and it was, as always at The Arch, a load of fun. We’re next at Arch One on July 26th. See you then.
