Last night was Monday which means we were at The Star of Kings. Opening the show was the hilarious Ajay Rose, who informed us that all it takes to make a funeral memorable is £200. It was then over to Moss (aka James Watkins) who gave some serious method acting styling to bank robbing. Next was Nicky Vere-Compton who was recently on ancestry.com and discovered there was alien in the family gene pool. After Nicky was Vlad Cloud-u(pictured) who was putting to bed some of the myths he’s had to endure over the centuries. It was then the turn of Munro Gascoigne who loves him some Berocca and that and the superhero piss it makes. Joe O’Donovan then had us wondering just what that horse in the Lloyds ads was running from before Ayla PM posed the question: are condoms just sexual PPE? Ricky Boby then confessed to having taught himself to be ambidextrous…so he could wank and scroll with ease. Closing the first half was the fabulous Gary Manhine and his collection of vintage swear jars. Who knew Churchill had such a foul mouth!
After the break, and a bit of vintage G&B animal magic, we got off to a cracking start with the brilliant Pete Kinsella, aka Big Pete, who’d rather be thought of as a skinny Hagrid than a fat Aquaman. Tristan Wolfe was next, wondering if the didgeridoo, or don’t, is now off limits as a subject. William Compton then explained why he wasn’t cut out for goat hoarding in the French Alps before Saad Abdi told us how to get dissed by a beanie hat. After Saad we had Lorcan Jeffreys the man with the fabulous puns and the dysfunctional relationship with his father. Hot on Lorcan’s heels was Rob Ash, who has a real issue with the English language. He hates it! Which is a bit of an issue being a teacher. Calum Di Lieto was next with why he’s not keen on Vegas and its fitness regime. The evening’s penultimate act was the hilarious Britt Pay, who still fears being possessed, as she’s not as flexible as she used to be when crawling downstairs backwards. Closing the show was the saintly stylings of Harun Musho’d, the man who has read Prince harry’s biography so you don’t have to. He’s even wading his was through Matt Hancock’s diaries so absolutely no one has to.
So that was a fun Monday. Headlining at the next G&B Mondays at The Star of Kings we’ve the brilliant Pete Kinsella and the gloriously batshit crazy Colin Smith.
