Thursday night at The Royal George was buzzing, and we were in for a wild one thanks to MC Lucy Jenner.
Opening the show was Rhys Jose, fresh from buying crystals at the big Tesco. He was followed by Eoghan Collins with a crucial PSA on funeral-inappropriate chocolates (Trust him. He’s done the research.) Next was Andrew Steel, who’s decided that if he’s a cheap laugh for other comics, he may as well roast himself. After Andrew came Barbora Beránková, who found out the hard way that being mistaken for a prostitute doesn’t help when you’re actually a supply teacher. Next was Steve Anderson who is worried in his future the only way he makes women wet is when they fall off his doorstep, and Sofia Cano revealed she’s recently become “newly white” and is trying to master white-girl dancing.We then had Nora Mawla, who thinks marrying for love is gross and admits she’s been underachieving since minus ten. After Nora came Gee Watson, who explained that LinkedIn is basically old people’s TikTok. Heroically closing the first half was David Ferguson, who confessed to murdering Rohan for this headline spot and reminded us he’s so hairy he fears no winter.
After the break, the small but mighty Matthew Mj Hunter who kicked things off with his admiration for Zack Polanski, mainly hoping Zach can add a few inches to MJ too. Ellie Bernard compared screen time to crack and can’t clear a metal detector without catching someone’s eye. We then had Ricky Baker with tales from his circus days, and Peirs Knight, who lives with seven girls and gets blamed for everything , usually correctly. Next was Kathryn Haywood, our resident yoga teacher, recalling a very sad night with “three-thrust Rob.” Then came Paul Bradley, our third Irish comic of the night, but the first with two accents. Gareth Beavis , a.k.a. G&B’s Peter Crouch, admitted he once had a wet dream about Thomas the Tank Engine, before Phil Green reassured us he is definitely not bitter about any young scout potentially breaking his record. Rising from the ashes, Rohan Ashar (pictured) returned to insist he’s still better than Google Maps and Citymapper combined. Finally closing the show was Sue the Cleaner, giving genuinely useful money-saving tips for surviving the cost-of-living crisis oh and she can guess which teabag you drink just by the look on your face!
So that was our night at The Royal George it was wild, chaotic, and exactly the kind of Thursday we like.
