So despite the tube strike, Thursday, The Royal George was a fun show. Kicking off the comedy was the fabulously funny Jill Duncan who’s got herself a new boyfriend and is determined to get as much material out of him as possible. Next was the one and only Pyjama Man (aka Will Peace), who helped us heal from our traumas thanks to some hole therapy. After Will was Tóki Sørinarson, who’s a big fan of Phillip K. Dick, if only for his ability to have succeeded in life after being called Dick. We then had Grace Miller, whose day job is working with the doctors of tomorrow… God help us! After Grace was Damon Bowen-Ashwin and the joys of an ice bath. Hot on Damon’s heels was Simon Draper (pictured), a man who looks so dense, light bends round him. James Sutton then told us all about bald guys being attractive, a fact his mum is quite adamant and supportive about. We then had James Lockhart, an act who used up the entire comedy industry’s annual allocation of the C word within 5 minutes. Closing the show was the hilarious Charlie Firth and just why online dating isn’t worth it…at least, not for one member of his family.
After the break, and a little zoo-topic arty magic, Rhys Jose kicked things off with why certain school bullying might be ok. It was then over to Susan Kitcatt who, for many reasons, now can’t work for the Samaratins. It was then over to Steve Hawthorne and the edible underwear range from Greggs. After Steve was Matt Straker and just why he appeals to a certain LGBTQ demographic. Talking of LGBTQ demographics, our next act, the brilliant Sonya Mathews, told us just how the corporations get on board with the LGBT community with their tote bags for landmines policies. Owen Stanley then told us just why owning a gilet is incredibly important if you want a certain type of job. Our penultimate act was the fabulous Andrew Conway and why dentures are a bonus for the discerning. Closing the show was the simply fabulous Mackenzie Pike and why there are certain things you live for in Girlsworld that Mansworld just doesn’t get. Stuff like chicken and rice!
