Thursdays we’re at The Royal George (soho) in the heart of the West End and it was another fun show. First to the stage was the hilarious David Ferguson and a tale of his one true love, a beautiful, plastic woman. No, not Madonna, though he loves her, too. His heart belongs to Barbie. It was then over to Billy Kerr and why it might not be god to believe in the tooth fairy. Next was James Onionz, who explained just why Ketamine Barry was a rubbish businessman. It was then over to King Charles III’s stamp body double, Phillip Reiss, before David Robinson confessed to not being entirely fond of park fun runners. It was then over to Luke Harrower who posed the question: if you get distracted and don’t show for your ADHD test, do you pass by default? After Luke was Jamie McDonald and some songs dedicated to homo sapiens and foreskins. We then had the brilliant Kim Hope and an inspired artist’s rendition of her that truly brought out the green in her complexion. Closing the first half we had the magical Adam B. Adam blew the minds of our audience with some feats of dexterity with a Rubik’s cube before a spectacular magical finish.
After the beak we got off to a cracking start thanks to Neil Ben’s prop comedy chaos and a punnery tour of the world. Frances Jane then explained how Irn Bru and Special Brew are linked via a political giant before Nobumi Kobayashi told us people often have a problem pronouncing her surname…just not the Trekkies! Alex Lawrence then blew the crowd away with their first G&B set confessing they’re looking for a soul mate for glorious sunsets, long walks on the beach…and pegging. It was then over to Mark Vincent and the problems with cum blindness before Charlie Firth and youthful excitement and parental minefields. Next was Ollie Taylor and some pescatarian puns before Declan Evans explained just why Essex quizzes might not be for the faint hearted. Closing the show was the simply hilarious Northern lass, Emmy Fyles (pictured), aka cos-play Dorothy. Emmy has abandoned her true Northern roots and is now a real Londoner. She even has an extravagant 50p a week candle habit.
So that was Thursday at The Royal George and it was a fun night. Headlining next week we have Punmaster Supreme Mark Rivlin and Mr Corporate himself, Phillip Cornwall. See you then.
