It was our Sunday afternoon show at The Star of Kings yesterday and what a great afternoon it was. I’m loving these early shows. When we first launched these I wasn’t sure how they’d go, but they have been consistently busy with really fun, up for it audiences. First to the stage yesterday was the hilarious Ryan Sheehan who reminded us all that you’re as young as the bills you ignore and the bikes that you ride. Michael Cumes then gave us some of the more interesting names he had to endure during his time at school before Tine Petersen asked if drugs could fix her. The audience collectively felt it would all depend on the dose. The wonderful Dora Flowers then got a spot when one act did a no show and confessed to the ‘enjoyment’ she gets from her Odd Box subscription. Abbi Cole then told us of her enjoyment of retro pursuits, like winking and dry humping before Dylan Clarke gave us a dark insight into modern gingerbread man body language and how it protests our violent and barbaric treatment of them #freethegingerbreadmen. We then had Lenny Walker who feels he’s almost there when it comes to being a responsible adult and once even tidied his room…so there! Disney then took a beating from Nick Kirk who left us all unable to watch Snowhite again without finding it truly creepy. Closing the first half was the brilliant Christopher Breakell. Christopher desperately wants to cut down on smoking dope; he got so stoned once he ended up with an art history degree! He also has a great tip for those who may visit the USA at some point: Don’t visit the NASA museum. It’ll just make you feel like a grade A failure.
After the break the wonderful Barbara Fernandez took over as MC. The first act Barbara brought to the stage was the gloriously dark James Townsend who told us of the weekend where he was faced with the difficult choice of gangbang or Museum of Torture. It turns out it all depends on who you’re with. It was then over to Paul Little, know to his neighbours as The Silver Fox, mainly because he wails when he has sex…in their garden. After paul was Archit Goenka who wonders if The Last Supper was really just the first bukake party. Gaj San was next with how married life has trained the slob out of him. So much so he now sees mess like Neo in The Matrix. It was then over to Marcus Beeby whom as a kid reckons he may have scarred several bankers into thinking they were complicit in child trafficking before Taylor Simpson confessed to being ‘that’ kid at school, the one we all hated who’d remind teachers that they’d forgotten to give us homework. It was then the turn of Mark Vincent who believes herpes and religion are very similar as they’re the two things once exposed to you can’t get rid of. Closing the show was the fabulous James Danielewski, the man with the self-confessed fashion sense of an overly body confident toddler. In his pursuit for the ideal partner, James has come to the conclusion all he wants is one who’ll enjoy his cooking, curl up on the sofa with him and not need to be taken taken outdoors to go toilet or need worming.
So that was our Sunday afternoon show and it was great fun. Headlining next Sunday we have everyone’s favourite nerd, Roger Clarke and everyone’s favourite, well, favourite everything, Jimbo! See you then.
