We had a fun night yesterday at the Star of G&B Tuesdays at The Star of Kings. Kicking things off was Louis Fletcher (pictured), who says he’s made it from almost male to the alpha of the pack…the wedding party pack, that is. Clare Samuels then shared the best job to go for if you’re into smoking and drinking: looking after little ones. We then had Nicky Vere-Comptonwho treated their parents to a soaring baritone while playing Jails and Jailbirds: The Musical. Sam Hampson then gave us the tea on naughty men vs bad boys, and how you know when you’re very white: when you feel safe with the police. Jakir Hussen was next, with the best names for cats we’ve ever heard – who could resist a Pussolini or an Adolf Kitler? Following Jakir was James Sutton who says donating to your local sperm bank can be frowned upon…when said offering is not your own. Closing the first half was the fabulous Lily Webb. Lily says nothing seals the deal on a first date quite like headbutting your intended – at least it’s better than working at Clarks!
Our second half began with some sparkling, sniffing magic provided by Adam Bownass, who put diamonds in places we never knew diamonds could go (no, not there!) Maria Barbieri was next. Maria hails from Calabria, where, according to EasyJet, tourist traffic is low thanks to the mafia presence – so what better place to spend a holiday? We then had Anıl Üstün who says he was only there to hunt for patients, before Tom Vousden shared he’s down a slippery slope: gee whizz leading to dearie me, followed by a feline Facebook account. Scott Fishenden followed with how he’s found the best way to stay 2 steps ahead of everyone else – fleeing (literally). Harry Hopla then demonstrated his Golden Retriever energy – though he only lifts his leg against chairs off stage. Closing the show was the wonderful Felix Parkin. Felix’s school may have produced more babies than top academic results, but hey, give ’em time – they haven’t reached sixth form yet. And speaking of school, why oh why when he goes to France, does no one express any curiosity about the contents of his school bag?
