March 11th at The Bell was a cracker of a night, packed and full of laughs. First to have them in hysterics was Matt Withers, a man who’s not a big fan of Elon Musk…or Crewe. It was then over to Mac O’Donnell and why anyone would have believed the Queen wasn’t racist: she was 100 years old and lived in a bloody castle FFS! Jackie Sea then had us power life’s great questions like Barcelona or Paris, chicken or beef, straight or anal. Anoop Singh Kung then told us the terrible two should really be named the c***y twos. It was then over to William da Silva, a proud un-murdered Brazilian. Christine Gee (aka Siân Spry) gave us some rent-a-nan kinkiness before Nathan Rene let us in on the two words that have got him through many problems at work over the years: bespoke solution. The deliciously dark Sam Mullen then talked us through the childhood trauma of an aggressive ad campaign before Eve Perry confessed to knowing where Benedict Cumberbatch lives…and it’s not done her any favours. Tony Carr then closed the first half with some great tips for the men in the room and a wee hint as to why some nationalities are easier to please than others.
The evening’s second half was kicked off by Tony O’Hara who came from a rough part of Ireland where just liking Sinead O’Connor had you thought of as gay. Gabriel Celaya then told of the saddest tale of the 21st century so far, that of Bond being brought down by the bald villain, Jeff Bezos. Ogo Isiodu was next with why she prefers the men in her life not to be so limber. Ann McClain was next with news that she may have a hot date with Nigel Harrington-Smythes. After Ann was Faraz Danish and the cultural divide as shown by the Elizabeth line. Declan Evans then told us how he made his sister’s wedding a very special day before Ziad Samaha told us how he put the ick in Arabic. Jonathan Godsi was our penultimate act who reckons there’s just not enough Monet in art. Closing the show was the simply hilarious Jonah Nigh (pictured). Jonah told us why Fuji should be ashamed and how objects can be just as racist as people.
