We had a fab night at The Bell on Tuesday, starting with Andy Brittain who declares he’s not exactly the fittest of men – he’d describe it as sneezing fit. Reggie Pollock shared their impressive height of 5′ 11″ – rather extraordinary for a baby – before Ella Clark gave us her favourite reason for being an aunt: looking after those nieces and nephews is an excellent reminder to stay on the pill. Next up was the UK’s oldest working comedian, Jimbo Beaumont (pictured), who schooled us in the knowns, the unknowns, the unknown knowns, the known unknowns…there was more but yeah I don’t know. Jill Duncan traveled the world just to meet the man of her dreams in a rather disappointing location: her hometown of Southend. Next we had Paul Little. Paul is a librarian, which he demonstrated beautifully – proving that when librarians are asked to vacate any premises, they leave quietly. It was then over to Will Usherwood-Bliss who asked what time is – it appears it’s all over the room – or so we think. Closing our first half was the fabulous Tony Carr. Tony says the online NHS appointment services are perfect for those awkward moments when you’re bleeding uncontrollably and need an appointment – in a week or so. And what a shame he didn’t get the vid from his colonoscopy to regale everyone on socials.
Our second half kicked off with Tóki Sørinarson who really wants to go to the US, cause they have all the good stuff there…except of course Greenland. Cameron Holder then says he’s begun a new sub-dom relationship…with the DuoLingo owl. Mark Kendrick Johnson boasted he’s now the hottest guy in town – thanks to his new ADHD meds – before Tim Thorne gave us the best pet advice ever: get a pet rock…mostly cause they don’t need a shrink. Taylor Perry proudly shared his first ever job – making hot drinks in a funeral home…though he’s not sure who was enjoying the beverages. Evan Henley demonstrated his uncanny ability to spy when an audience member has a completely spontaneous-yet-typed-and-printed question about his life, before Lucas Main shared his fave memory: a hand job at a funeral – hopefully not where Taylor was working 
Jake Pemberton gave us a very good reason not to sign up as a participant in WWI – no punching and way too much poetry – before our closing headliner, the brilliant Kieran Dee. Kieran questions his right to teach children, mostly because he eats soup with his hands. The kids don’t seem to mind though, cause when it comes to making fun of teachers, his bald head and hidden insecurities means schooltime is open season.
