Wednesday night at The Bell had Martin Ashworth MCing and the first act he brought to the stage was the hilarious Rich Bunn, the man whose voice will soothe you to sleep…which might not always be the desired outcome. We then had Eoghan Collins, whose nipples have been well and truly hoof tweaked. Next was Grace Miller, who is still nervous of squat farts. After Grace was Barbora Beránková, who told the crowd that whatever they imagined supply teaching to be, it isn’t! The fabulous Gee Watson who told us how much he hated flying ant day, which is inevitably followed by flying Dec day. Gareth Beavis then told us the closest he got to happiness recently…someone help him! Hot on Gareth’s heels was Dan Grennan, who wondered if he looked like a cool Aussie surfer dude. A laugh from the audience suggested no. Next was Mario Kyriakos, who’s not the man to ask for career advice. Charlie Firth then assured us he was a young person. The fact he still lives with his mum and dad wasn’t enough of a clue, apparently. Closing the first half was Stanislav Gunko, a white, traumatised, middle aged man who hasn’t got a ticket for the Oasis reunion tour. And sticking to the G&B rules of no homophobia, racism or misogyny, he couldn’t even mention the Russian constitution.
After the break the second half was kicked off in style by the Aussie awesomeness that is Kim Hope. Kim let us in on a little secret as to why Trump keeps getting punched at Madame Tussaud’s. It was then over to Manuel Asali and university fees for dog uni. We then had Tony Matthews aka Tony Lama, the black sheep of the Dalai family. Hannah Elsy then explained the minefield of compliment giving before Alan Bissell told us just why he’s no longer allowed in his gym. The fabulous Lucy Jenner then confessed to having been bullied at school and the room expressed its shock, mainly in the form of sarcasm. After Lucy was Dave Aron, who was on cracking form. Dave told us of his rather interesting 20 digit nickname. Leon Brehony was after Dave with why he seriously needs to wean himself off his Friends boxset. The evening’s penultimate act was the hilarious Gabriel Celaya, who let us in on a little secret that was just between us and no one else. So shhhhhhh! Closing the show was the brilliant Richard Wheatley (pictured). Richard explained just why disabled loos really aren’t made for the blind, especially the ones with the full on electronic menus.
So that was Wednesday night at The Bell. Next week we have a cracking night for you with headliners Martina O’Sullivan and Caroline Madds.
