What a fun night we had at The Star of Kings yesterday! My brain was fighting with my mouth the whole night which apparently added to the hilarity of the fab acts. Kicking off the night was Nigel Wolfin – an accountant you can count on – for the hidden sexuality behind fiscality that you didn’t know you needed. Next up was Lee VG, who may sport a resting deadpan face until you get him to say something exciting, like ‘for example’. We will never know what the thrilling example was, though, as he’s not telling. Nick Morey then posed a rather important question: why do nightmares boast cinematography to die for, yet sex dreams just look like you’re in a box of old veg? Ben Cooper was up next to demonstrate what true method acting is: living your role as a young person riddled with debt, all because he didn’t get to be a chimp like Robbie W. Ilan Ganani says he came here to become a better person. He’s succeeded brilliantly: he’s a way more accomplished drinker. Closing the first half was the wacky fabulousness of Rosie G (Rosie Gray). Rosie’s most recent accomplishment was meeting Kate Middleton – Rosie had some humorous quips at the ready when chatting with Kate after Kate had seen a play Rosie was in: classics like ‘I bet you don’t get that at the palace!’ Worked a treat for everything from socialising behind closed doors to pedophilia. Rosie is waiting for her royal invitation, which should be arriving any day now.
Our second half opened with Phil Green who, lest we forget, was the youngest recipient of the Chief Scout Award – but he’s not counting…or stalking…or obsessed. @elliebernard then shared how she almost pulled a prison security guard before Adam Cummings almost took the ceiling down when he took to the stage – but just because he’s tall, don’t think he’s looking over the top of the toilet cubicle. He looks underneath, like everyone else. Paul Rowinski was next to demonstrate the ‘ish’ in Britishness before Ferdy Turral showed how he tried to complain about his girlfriend while being Pinocchio from Peckham – but his nose outgrew those ideals pretty fast. Next up was Tom Draper and his harrowing attack at the mini-museum from a pint-sized fascist with dreams of cage fighting, before Godfrey Mercado closed our show in style. Godfrey has the good fortune of having achieved many a Filipino man’s dream: marrying a white woman. Though she’s a Cockney girl, so conversion is proving difficult. Poor Godfrey has gone from family spreads of delicious Filipino dishes…to a table of crisps. It’s a wonder he’s still alive.
So that was our show! Join us next Monday on December 1st, where we’ll have the hilarious Tony Carr and the fabulously funny Charlie Firth.
