It was a busy afternoon at The Star of Kings on Sunday, July 13th with our Everything But The Gags workshop, then the show immediately after and the tennis upstairs, it was a non-stop afternoon. Kicking off the show was that famous theatre actor, Eoghan Collins, a man probably most famous for his rune reading skills. It was then over to Lauren Rivers and the joys of Woburn’s sub-tropical zone. Next was Kate McGhee and why Tesco Express can cause total psychological breakdown. We then had Rosie G and just why certain sexual validation isn’t always required. After Rosie was Anna Mawn, who’s from Coventry, the UK’s most bombed city…but non one talks about it. It was then over to Richard Taylor, who has a disability, just not a cool one like gout. We then had the absolute pleasure and delight that was the wonderful Arabella Barrington Carr (aka Catherine Lamb). Arabella now owns a price gun and a tabard, so life’s a bit of a spiffing wheeze at the moment. It was then the turn of Steve Anderson, who’s so pale he once got sun stroke from downloading a jpeg. Closing the first half was the hilarious Eddie Rojas. From the US, Eddie’s not a lover of guns, but also not a lover of the way we treat our chickens; it’s just not good economic sense to have them living in luxury.
After the break, and a little bit of magic, we got off to a great start thanks to the brilliant Declan Evans and the flying dragon, crouching tiger game that was definitely not appreciated. It was then over to Luke Ditchfield and the creepy ratio of modern neck ache. After Luke was Leon Brehony who may have overdosed on the TV series Friends. Tarquhil Martell then taught us some multilingual survival tactics before Carlos Donovan put us all off the idea of street food forever. Next was Luisa Coelho da Silva who is a successful teacher…she wanted to be an actor! Ian Colyer was the day’s penultimate act and he took us through how to get the most from a colonoscopy. Closing the show was the fabulous Amber Phillips. Amber is from 1990’s war torn Kosovo, aka Southend, which is still bitter about Coventry stealing that City of culture award!
