Wednesday nights are Arch1 and last night’s show was kicked off by the hilarious Carwyn Blayney who is now a true cosmopolitan dude, even owning an electric toothbrush. It was then over to Henning Nilsen, whose preference for sitting while he pees causes some tension…at the urinal. Christopher Ford then told us a dash of ABBA, some basic French a a Diarylea slice is your perfect recipe to make a gay. It was then over To Tony Carr, who reckons St Tropez isn’t the place to get your private parts sunburnt. Charlie Firth was next with a football tale that ends in a field with nervous sheep. After Charlie we had Pat Smith who’s been with his partner so long the sex has become little more than a warm up for some Wordle. Daria Gee confessed to some anger management issues, so don’t get him started on cask ale. It was then over to Sam Jacobson who is king of his very own bouncy castle empire. Closing the first half was David Ferguson whose recently laser eye surgery has him rocking the incognito celeb look. It’s also given him a renewed appreciation for clouds and butterflies.
After the break, and my all time favourite bit of card magic, we got off to a cracking start with Rob Ash. Turns out the only thing getting a poke on his last date was his eye. After Rob was Phoebe Taylor and how, in turn Olivander fashion, the vape choses the hipster. It was then the turn of Luke Harrower and just why Bruno mars might be just a bit too needy. Hot on Luke’s heels was Olivia Helden, who’s a dab hand at ordering the most pretentious coffee white privelage can buy. Next was James Onionz and some great advice for the wannabe businessman: don’t go into a K hole before you’ve finalised the deal. The evening’s penultimate act was Callum Mackenzie (pictured). Callum gave us an insight into his early days in comedy and just why the eggplant crossed the road. Closing the show was the hilarious Jim Hooker. Jim is very supportive of women’s right to hydrate and Chantelle’s right to dominate local business practice.
Well that was Wednesday at Arch1. Headlining next week at The arch we have Connor Yeates and Phillip Cornwall.
