Monday night at The Star of Kings turned out to be another really fun show. First to the stage was the hilarious Mj Hunter. MJ’s a big fan of rap, as it turns out, but knows he not quite the demographic. It was then over to Richard Wheatley, aka Bruce Springsteen’s stunt double and understudy. Leo Ma then assured us, despite his appearance, that he’s not one of those flailing arm inflatables you see outside secondhand car dealerships. After Leo was The Average Russian (aka Luke Harrower), who may, or may not, be the person on the other end of those Hot Russians Near You phone lines. Mark Rufus then gave us some impressions before David Huante explained why everyone over 50 is incapable of working anything more technologically more complex than a chip pan. It was then over to the brilliant Rosie Connolly who reliably informed us that she has the youthful armpits of a 15 year old, but the clammy palms of a Tory frontbencher. We then had the musical Barbara Fernandez and how to put past husbands to bed via song. After Barbara was Harry Hopla and the middle class trauma of knowing too many Quintins before Bertie Lambert explained why there should be no half measures in going feline. Closing the first half we had Jimmy Pringle whose ex got a bit weird when she started collecting crystals. And not the cool, global domination gauntlet ones.
After the break we got off to a great start thanks to the hilarious Phil Green and the true moral lesson to take away from the Goldilocks story. Grace Shamlian then showed it sometimes takes a foreigner to show the Brits the error of our King’s ways before Josh Mason told us about who he got a good black Friday deal on liver damage. It was then over to the McDonalds online customer complaints page for some critical feedback from thanks to Carwyn Blayney. After carny we had Martin Ashworth and why eating the rich might only need the one to be masticated as the lesson might be suffice for change. Nick Gaughan then brought us back to the “prank” call that HRH no doubt regrets before Hidehito boats his manhood covers several timezones. Callum Mackenzie then gave us an insight into why some men are just too ashamed to admit to driving trains in daylight before our final act of the evening, Sinead Parker. Sinead, who was on stellar form, had the room in stitches with her somewhat unique blend of hypochondria and an equally unique take on the human centipede.
So that was Monday at The Star of Kings and it was a cracker of a show. Headlining next Monday we have Phil Green and David Ferguson.
