Opening the show at The Royal George on January 8th was Peppa Pig’s daddy, aka Jonny Brace, a man who isn’t keen on his fathoming daughter. Next was Lucy Jenner, thus named by her brother and “Lucy’s magic Box”. It was then over to the always energetic Sam Day, who’s a big hit on the care home circuit. After Sam was Roy Michael and some lazy ocular metaphors. We then had Phillip Reiss, who had a most disappointing experience at The Nosh Wagon recently. Next was Kirill Kuznetsov who has some serious advice on the institute of marriage. After Kirill was Steve Hawthorne and why everyone needs a Dodgy Dave in their lives. Ella Clark was next with why being a kickboxer can be a little emasculating for potential dates. Before our first headliner wee had David Ferguson, who wants to do comedy his mum would enjoy. Not gonna happen. Closing the first half was Aarian Mehrabani, whom despite being blin always knew he was into guys. It’s a brail thing.
After the break we got off to a great start thanks to Martina O’Sullivan (pictured) and some bedtime secrets…with her other half in the room. It was then over to Jamie (aka Louis Renouf) a recovering head boy, doing his bit to campaign for dry handles. After Jamie was Maria Achilleos, a lady who’s not entirely suited to the idea of the crotch carnage created by motherhood. We then had Alex Groves and her interesting taste in men before Prestina Buggenhout told us the 1 movie, two pees timetabling of Eurostar. It was then over to Jonny Blostone and a great summer tip on how to keep the wasps away. Our penultimate act was the hilarious Charlie Firth who reckons the Nativity would have been more memorable if the wise men could have won mugs. Closing the show was the fabulous Nick Morey and the joy of having a supportive mother and a pretentious taste in stoner music.
Well that was a great show to close our first week of 2026. Headlining next Thursday you’ve a real treat with the fabulous Tracey Bowman and Nick Bain.
