It was another buzzing night at The Royal George on Thursday. Opening the show was the hilarious Sam Day, who has some interesting ideas on how Marks & Spencer should market tabloids. The colourful Auz Thompson was next with a few rounds of “How Single Are You” before Stanislav Gunko told us it’s easier to pick a leader back home than it is to pick a football team here. Phillip Reiss was next with tales of William, the decadent spider before Tony Carr put us straight as to why there’s no crowd work in nativity plays. After Tony was Ben Marciano and getting blocked on social media by your family, friends and imaginary friends. Dean Helliwell then told us why The Army loves a Scottish sink estate. It was then over to Shaun England who recently joined a running club, but not for the hook-ups! It was then the turn of Casey Stephen Jack, who has been proud of being Canadian and slightly nervous about potentially soon becoming American. Closing the first half was the man himself, Jimbo (pictured). Giving a reprise of something he tried out on Tuesday in Dalston, Jimbo did a bit of a remake of Lady and The Tramp…with a sandwich instead of spaghetti.
After the break and a bit of celebrity magic, we got off to a great start thanks to Brooke Hoerr. Brooke reckons it’s a bit of a fallacy thinking if we all worshiped the same God we’d have world peace. Have those people never heard of Ireland!? Fred Bell was next with the gaseous joys of the 3 second mute button before Gareth Beavis confessed the reason he was a late bloomer may have something to do with his love of Thomas the Tank. Nick Bain was next with how to spot a gay anywhere in the world…except Italy! After Nick we had Sam O’Connor who was recently in Australia, where they sprayed him down with factor 50 at the airport. Paul Irwin then told us why traditional in his family if you told someone you got a first it was more conviction that further education. Closing the show was the simply brilliant Carwyn Blayney. From the real, and rather sad, reason why Jesus’ disciples were all on the one side of that table to why he reckons phones need to stop bullying people with this photo montage stuff, Carwyn had the crowd in absolute roaring laughter.
So that was another awesome night at The Royal George. Headlining next Thursday we have the brilliant David Ferguson and the hilarious Pam Ford.
