It was a real cracker of a night at The Star of Kings on Monday, the perfect mix of a buzzing audience and a great line-up. First to the stage was the fabulously funny Thomas Round a testicular tale we’ll never forget. It was then over to Sam Hampson who’s pulling the Clark Kent vibe, so long as Superman’s kryptonite was daisies. After sam was Lucy Clark. Lucy loves May 4th, but mainly for a bit more Harrison Ford. It was then over to Caryn Cobersy who’s a regular gym goes: regular as clockwork once a year in January. It was then over to Mac O’Donnell whose mate just discovered where the umbilical cord gets cut doesn’t define how popular you might be on PornHub. David Robinson then told us of the inspiring, uplifting, people centred, innovative, future thinking company he works for before Adrian Peyrotad told us about the kind of breast feeding only comics could come up with. The gloriously funny James Wood (pictured) was next with the journey of the grape from vine to butt wine. Closing the first half was Phil Green and The Gladiators’ nepotism that “never” happened.
The evening’s second half kicked off in great style thanks to the brilliant Carwyn Blayney and how The Simms may have lead to South Wales’ premier escort service. Jonny Brace then gave Ryan Binkley the only real claim to fame he’s gonna get: a musical number written all about him. After Jonny we had Donatas Kveselys . In true Marvel tradition, Donatas has radiation superpowers akin to The Hulk, only he stretched upwards instead of outwards. The hilarious Jack Henry was next with the confession that certain phrases might make him cum or cry. It just depends on where and when they’re spoken. It was then over to Hannah Ward and her first ever gig. If David Attenborough was young, female and from The Isle of Wight, he’d have a double in Hannah. Martin Ashworth then confessed to having to come to terms with the fact that his age equal, Homer Simpson, is essentially a higher achiever. Luke Harrower then wondered whether being single might be due to his heart being a bit of an idiot before Sam Day toyed with whether he’s wheezy, sleazy or just plain nerdy. Closing the show was G&B’s poet laureate, the simply brilliant Jack Scullion. There’s a truly unique sense of joyful silliness Jack brings to the stage every time. Just go see him any time you get the chance.
So that was a fun night at The Star of Kings. Next Monday is another of our G&B’s Dark Delights shows, our evening’s dedicated to comedy’s darker side.
