Opening the show at The Bell on January 7th we had Aarian Mehrabani and a tale of coming out to his parents. Next was Jacob Tidmarsh (pictured) and why Jesus’ second coming will come to an end on a Billy Bookcase. We then had Gav Webb and why his mother’s sense of humour is culturally appropriated. Seb Frost was next with why Ketamine saves you from bulk buying Thursdays. After Seb was Kym Nelson and how to drive you man wild…if he’s from the 70’s. Hot on Kym’s heels was Sam Gray who wonders if Lynx Africa might actually smell nice and it’s just teenagers are wearing it wrong. It was then over to Bekki Cleland and why David Attenborough prefers the rainforest to the bush. Jack Clerkin then wondered how long it took for humans to put two and two together to work out sex caused pregnancy before Andy Brittain gave us a cautionary tale about painful chocolate eggs. Closing the first half was Martin Ashworth and the unfortunate first draft of a Magnum ad.
After the break we got off to a great start thanks to Michael Campuzano and why it’s a real shame Spain has gone. Next was Aidan McKeown and an unexpected one way roast battle. Dan Lopes then confessed to being the accountancy equivalent os a cleaner at an abattoir. Its was then over to Nathan Samuel and why mashed potato isn’t something a bouncer should find on a pat down. After Nathan was AJ Redmond and why pegging and homophobic slurs are like wine and cheese. Freddie Cornwell the explained just why one shouldn’t help oneself to a baby before Ellie Bernard told us how she can beat up an 8 year old. Our penultimate act was Charlie Firth, a man who has never said anything right wing or confrontational, or anything deserving being shot at. Closing the show was the hilarious Rohan Ashar, the walking talking public transport app who’s no one’s karma.
Well that was another cracking evening at The Bell. Headlining next week we’ve the fabulous Georgia Thorp and Amber Phillips.
