It was a truly memorable show at The Star of Kings on Monday. What an incredible night. First to the stage was Jacob Tidmarsh who kicked things off with some business casual…his second language. Next was Craig Jaffa and why listening to your flatmates having sex isn’t that much fun. It was then over to Ash Jordan who had us wondering just what animal chorizo actually is. Lauren Rivers then taught the technical vector method for squat toilets before Will Haslam told us why things have been tough after Ratatouille II got cancelled. Oliver Wright then told us that he’s so chilled his fridge has started flirting with him. We then had Connor Bell and the things a mullet doesn’t guarantee before Grace Gooda told us just why run clubs should have to use the bus lane. After Grace was Alex Waterhouse and some neighbourly lube. Duncan MacGregor was next with just why the 90’s were better. After Duncan was Nick Morey who may well be better at video games than foreplay. Archie Keen was our penultimate act and showed just why our voting system is fatally flawed. Closing the first half was the brilliant Paul Little. Paul told us that his father was part of the milky mafia: he worked for big chocolate.
After the break we had our very own Barbara Fernandez (pictured) and a preview of her debut Fringe show, Singing, Sagging and Shagging. Now we’ve seen much of this in small parts over the past few years at G&B, but nothing prepared us for the final product. This was not a debut show. This felt more like a seasoned Fringe act showing us what she’s taking up to Edinburgh this year, and the crowd couldn’t get enough of it. I couldn’t have been prouder of Barbara last night. If They love it in Edinburgh half as much as we did last night she’s going to be a friggin’ sensation!
