We had a great time at The Star of Kings yesterday, starting with Danielle Scott (pictured) who says no bottomless brunch is complete without the latest tool to drink to abandon…nappies. Next Sam Gray shared how clever Turkish barbers are – they cut the hair here and people then go to Turkey to pay to put it back on. Janet Lynn gave her top tip on flirtation – speak to a guy as if he’s a puppy – before Az Khan shared the true identity of South Asian aunties – border control guards – though her borders apparently have been compromised as her Pakistani outfit gave her Sith Lord vibes. Charlie Firth says he hasn’t taken his first ever role in a play too seriously – the nativity play at school – though he did only make the gig thanks to a star in the east. Tracey Bowman is getting to be very up to date with the latest trends – in case you didn’t know it, the price of electric tumble dryers is to blame for the surge in pegging. Our closing headliner for the first half was the wonderful Lee VG who works hard to please his mate Andrew by no longer calling him Andy – meaning he only drinks Shandrews. We were even serenaded with his ode to his eagle nose.
Our second half kicked off with Nick Morey – Nick’s mum is struggling with mental health decliine, which is hard on Nick, cause she’s losing track of all her grudges. We then had Roger Gewolb fresh from his club experience where the average age was deceased, before Thijs Klutzow told us he’s very polite in restaurants when they ask him to take a seat. His house is now full of chairs. Tasos Tsolis shared the difficulties of being proud as a Greek man of today – his ancestors have already done all the heavy lifting – before Alex Green asked that age-old question: Why are chopsticks called chopsticks when they don’t chop? Harry Harischandra found the perfect way to never get sucked into a cult – playing Paddle – before Marc Cohen shared a vital tip for anyone studying intonation: ‘You’ve had a 9 year old’ can be said in many different ways. Our closing headliner was the funny Martina O’Sullivan. Martina shared her favourite pastime – judging strangers – and just why Catholics (and sometimes the rest of us) get to munch on Jesus’ bits (except for vegans, cause yeah, cannibalism doesn’t really work for them).
So that was our show! Join us next Monday at The Star of Kings on Monday, June 22nd where we’ve Rich Bunn and Martin Ashworth.
