What an absolute cracker os a show we had at The Bell on Tuesday (May 13th). This was a joy to MC and sidesplittingly funny to watch. First to the stage was the fabulously funny Sonny Savage and a fascinating revelation about just what being indoors actually means. Bless… We then had Connor Bell, who reckons he could take a gorilla, and not one of those weak assed cuddly ones. Next was Declan Evans and how to ruin a good wedding with one push. After Declan was Marc Cohen and the Mr Burns conversation no one’s ego wants. It was then over to the one woman riotous audience, the brilliant Deirdre Robertson, who from here on will be booking drag queens for any funerals she’s organising. Roy Michael then gave us a great Bernard Manning impression. Unfortunately it was of his wife. It was then over to Jonathan Godsi who confessed to not being a big fan of white supremacy before Karan Mehra summarised modern art and his complete lack of gives a shit about it. Closing the first half was the simply hilarious Mj Hunter. MJ gave the appreciative audience some wonderful tips on interview technique…if you want to stay unemployed.
After the break, and a little bit of arty mindreading, we got off to a great start thanks to Phil Meyers. Phil wonders if his hairline has condemned him to one day being a supervillain…or porn star look-a-like. Jack Clerkin then begged someone to take his virginity, to only confess it had already gone in a fire sale. It was then over to Lyndon Carney who informed us as to the right age you kid should stop doing baby voice. 28, apparently. Next was Mac O’Donnell and the most hilarious way to get mugged. After Mac was Pulkit, a man whose accent is very popular in the right circumstances. Mo Khan then took us through the vital 4 stages of singled before Lucy Davies gave us the paleontological roots of Jaja Binks. The evening’s penultimate act was the hilarious G Watson and why everyone over 40 should have their social media cleared by someone in their early 20s before posting. Closing the show was the simply brilliant Caroline Madds. Talk about having the room in absolute sidesplitting hysterics. From surviving the first wave of hair straighteners from the early 2000’s to having too much personality for yoga and having had a man sacked in B&Q for mansplaining a sofa bed, Caroline had that audience literally sore from laughing.
Well that was an amazing night of comedy. Headlining next Tuesday we have the brilliant Jonny Brace and Phil Green. See you then.
