We had a great time at the Star yesterday! It all started with Marc Salmon and his funereal bustups, baby carrots and dad shorts (not necessarily in that order). Following Marc was Declan Evans. Declan made a significant contribution to his mum’s sponge cake with a very different kind of baking powder. We then had Mark Vincent who prides himself on sending away mosquitoes in pain – they won’t go near his veins again – before Jo Bodley (pictured) and her fighting the good fight for comedy, complete with flying dolphins. Next was Tim O’Hare who proudly carries the default setting of being single, before Deniro B Stocks‘s tales of Queensland, where Jesus could be anything but was actually most likely a carpenter rather disappointed in his final work. Cathy White then shared how her cat doesn’t bring home the bacon – he’s more into paddling pools. It was then over to Jakir Hussen who is still waiting for that all-important sex talk from his parents, before Tony Carr – whose kids clearly love him – they got him a gift certificate for his favorite place to be roasted post mortem. After Tony was Luke McCarthy. Luke says you know your barber is dodgy when they sell headwear. Closing our first half was the wonderfully funny Christopher Donovan. Turns out that retail casino job was a bit trickier than he’d expected – stabproof pens, blood diamonds, and horses who just won’t lose when they’re supposed to.
Our second half kicked off with Paul Little. Paul was a great hit with the dogs in our audience, even sharing his tinnitus with them, which was caused by listening to loud music – unlike his friend’s, caused by a bomb. Some people just like to boast. Mark Rivlin then gave us pun after pun, with shaggy dog stories, growing a beard with the wife, and the ups and downs of Surrey. After Mark was Adrian Peyrotad who was very disappointed when trying to breastfeed. It turns out they don’t like cereal bars – who knew? Katie Edkins then shared the easiest diagnosis ever for mental health professionals when confronted by someone wanting an out-of-hours freebie: a twat. We then had Stephen Portlock, who says when you’ve touched a Minion instead of washing your hands after using the loo, conversations at the charity shop can be tricky. Miles Greenway then shared the joys of growing up speaking ‘hick Korean’, before Dan Chalkley shared the perils of bringing back Eurovision contestants from the 70s – good luck finding one who hasn’t been accused of something dodgy. Stanislav Gunko was next, sharing that thanks to the war in Russia, he’s still on tour and gets to sample British food (well, the exit, anyway). Closing the show was the fabulous Matthew Mj Hunter, who is envious of his cat’s big dick energy. MJ is just grateful he doesn’t have to protect his oh-so-confident girlfriend on the street – though he does have to protect her from his browsing history.
So that was our show! We’ll be back at the Star on the 19th, see you there!
