Our final show of 2025 was at Royal George Charing Cross Road on December 18th and it was a cracker. Kicking things off was Michael Campuzano, a man whose work colleagues could never be identified by dental records. Next was Jacob Tidmarsh, who knows the Swedish Bible chapter, verse and list of accessories. It was then one to Evan Henley, a man who’s been bullied from Hydrogen to Oganesson. After Evan was Jenny Jope, who’s really not a fan of parakeets. It was then the turn of the one and only Pyjama Man and the human equivalent of whack-a-mole. Jill Duncan then put the audience in its place by out cooling us all one sky dive at a time. After Jill was Tony Carr and the real story of Christmas. Amber Phillips then told us of the trauma she endures due to the pierce, peel and stir of ready meals. Closing the first half was the hilarious Declan Evans and everything from awesome sponge cake to bank jobs and why you shouldn’t write down your set list.
After the break, and a little Christmas box magic, we got off to a musical start thanks to Eoghan Collins and molars can be a wee bit sectarian. Next was Angus Barrett and the tale of the man with too many explosives in his case. After Angus was Freddie Cornwell. A man with an iron clad memory. We then had Susan Kitcatt and an interesting take on Nigel Farrage. Hot on Susan’s heels was Hannah Elsy and her interesting side hustle before Lee VG confessed to being less Elvis, more Trigger. It was then over to Chester Jerrat who explained just how we could have had internet shopping a lot sooner. Our penultimate act was none other than one of the great Christmas celebrities, Rudolph (aka Calvin Smith) and why he has a waaaay tougher job than any of us could ever imagine. Closing the show was the fabulous Mj Hunter. Not a man for a threesome, but someone who’ll get the job done, so long as it comprises of no more than two moves.
So that was our last show of the year. We’re back on January 5th with G&B’s monthly New Act Competition at The Star of Kings. So hopefully see you then.
