Tuesdays we’re at The Bell in Aldgate and kicking the night off was the musical hilarity of Eoghan Collins and vampires, nuns and crying virgins. It was then over to Arthur Mitchell who says he has a way with people. Unfortunately it’s usually the wrong way. It was then over to Pete Kinsella (pictured) for some clowning around before Mj Hunter told the tale of the psycho family pet. It was then over to Mr Corporate, Phillip Cornwall and how to create the buzz words and corporate catch phrases of tomorrow. After Phillip was Mac O’Donnell and why you should always clear your browser history. Tony Carr then posed the terrifying question: when robots can click on the button that says they’re not robots is it all over for humanity? Closing the first half was Mark Vincent and everything from rave tents, statins, Viagra and the best wifi in Glastonbury.
After the break we got off to a great start thanks to Carwyn Blayney, a man who reckons he has it made now he’s got a microwave next to his bed. Jamie-Dean was next with his customer service superpower: he can make the most angry complainer feel awkward and leave. We then had the utterly pietistic Mark Rivlin, the one man, rapid fire gag machine. Bobby den Bezemer then explained why Surinamese funerals were potentially more fun than British weddings before Phil Green told us just why comprehensive school graduates should never be allowed positions of power. Closing the show was the incredible Katie Tweddle. In the ten and a half years G&B has been putting on shows, there have been few acts quite as original and left field as Katie and who leave a room buzzing and sore with laughter. My advice to you is do your best to see her act whenever you have the chance.
Headlining next Tuesday we have Moss and G&B’s poet laureate, Jack Scullion.
