It was a wonderfully busy and buzzing night at The Royal George (soho) on Thursday. The first half of the evening saw guest MC, Jonathan Stadlen, bring to the stage our first act, the hilarious Charlie Firth. Charlie confessed he has a bit of a crush on his neighbour’s ox and no Bible decree will have him think otherwise. It was then over to Ollie Taylor who suffers the weight of handsomeness, so we don’t have to. It was then over to Mj Hunter who has bit of a performance anxiety thing brought on by a particularly attractive cat. Paul Little then gave us a great impression of a steam room before Dan Hough told us of some interesting porn hub strategies to fill the loneliness void. It was then over to Brendan King who may or may not one day die for your sins…so be nice to him. John Pape then demonstrated what has to be the shiniest face in showbiz before Kym Nelson confessed she might be a better comic than parent. The fabulous Jim Hooker was next with why your diet might be more useful than a DeLorean for time travel. After Jim was Richard Wheatley and the tale of the creepiest music box ever! Closing the first half we had Alex D. Love, the man with Ant’s forehead and Dec’s face. From Iron Maiden to Peter Andre, we discovered Alex has more than your normal eclectic taste in music and other things.
After the break we got off to a great start thanks to Pete Kinsella, who lives in an area so posh even Satan has perfectly white net curtains. After Pete was George Harvey who no longer tolerates the Love Handles Harvey nickname and much prefers Beef on Toast. It was then the turn of Barbora Beránková, who’s here to steak our jobs, but mainly the English teaching ones because we’re rubbish at that. Jack Scullion was hot on Barbora’s heels with the poetry of the Curly Curly before David Huante told us how. Such he is looking forward to his retirement and getting to love the taste of cat food and destitution. Lucy Clark was next with why baby showers aren’t something the Met predict, but they’re nonetheless best avoided. Leo Ma then showed us why coming out to a parent should never be a competitive sport. It was then the turn of Emmy Fyles, who was born in Matalan, apparently, before the brilliant Louie Mclean (pictured) close the show with some tips on how to save money on your nan’s funeral. He’d recently put her in a home due to the garden getting too clod this time of year.
So that was Thursday at The Royal George. Next Thursday is our nerds and geeks night, with our Doctor Who quiz and time travel magic.
