We had a wonderful time last night at The Bell – it began with the fab antics of Sam Day who gave us Ed Sheeran from Temu vibes…if he worked for Milky Bars. Next up was Amber Phillips who may not lick lamposts in her comedy, but she must lick something, according to her auntie. Grace Millie then shared her newfound calling: as a renegade vegan shepherd, leading you straight to your nearest cuts of meat. Dan Mac (pictured) led us in a rather fun singalong, proof that with a strategically placed finger, Dan will not only strum…but hummmmm. Orlando Taylor then gave us the lowdown on Tom Jones, who it appears should have spent less time shagging and more time writing song lyrics where sex meets military tech. Tony Carr shared his best 60th birthday present from his kids – a voucher for Pure Cremations – before Kate Mc gave us her new and most satisfying hobby: shoplifting. Our penultimate act was @angusbarrett who provided poetry set to music, complete with ball twats over Cow Corner and Pope Leo with a newly smoke-free derriere. Closing the first half was the wonderful Mac O’Donnell. Mac’s friends may not be book smart, but they sure can give all those athletes at the Star Wars convention a run for their money – unless of course Mac does his set, at which point anyone trying to grab anyone’s money will simply run away. A one-man comedic crime fighter!
Our second half opened with Eve Perry. Eve is triumphant because after being unable to burp for years, she has managed it – all she needs is good sex and a microphone. Marios Hajipanayi then gave us an offer we couldn’t refuse – a Santa outfit with full extension (not the beard) – before Ilan Ganani dropped in from Israel, with earth-shattering news: a day after Hitler got married, he decided it was better to leave the world behind. Jonny Blostone was next, with a top tip for livening up your flatmate’s at-home Zoom meetings – have Jonny in the next room enjoying some alone time. It was then over to Jay Porter . Jay told us that yes the left brain is indeed analytical, but the right brain is just…far right. Next was @matijapisk who shared the woes of receiving a peg from his GF – it didn’t need to be quite so lifelike. Declan Evans then said he doesn’t get why his sister got so mad at him and his brother causing mayhem with her and her dress. It was only her wedding. Closing the show was the funny Jim Hooker. Jim didn’t vote for Brexit, though he is quite happy to skip the continental breakfast – at least till after he’s had his full English. Jim has had many adventures, including a field trip to Waitrose where he discovered that some cheeses…have surnames.
So that was our night! Join us next Wednesday at the Bell for a cracker of a show, with the jocular genius that is Johnny Murph and the utterly hilarious Lucy Jenner.
