Wednesday night we were at The Bell and it was the wonderful wackiness of Louis Fletcher that got the night off to a great start with a tale of his romance with Princess Zelda. Fred Bell then explained why there is a sense of flatulent freedom when you have kids. It was then over to Amber Phillips and the special shortbread in her life. Neil Davies, aka A to Z, took us through the joys of septuagenarian hook-ups. Mj Hunter then told us how he brings a tear to his girlfriend’s eye before Tony Carr pondered if Polaroid cameras were the source of the original dick pics. It was then over to Connor Bell, a man with a Tok Tok guidance councillor. It was then the turn of Michal Uchal. Michal’s went to Dublin to study English and then to England to sober up. We then saw Mark Vincent hypothesise whether Gregg’s was really the UK’s front line for population control. Closing the first half was the fabulous Ashish Suri (pictured). Ashish wondered whether we forgive Italy for its part in WWII purely because of pizza.
After the break, and a little magic that proved just how predictable we all are, we got off to a great start thanks to Declan Evans, the Essex lad who knows how to look harder. We then had Jonny Slater, the teacher who knows the dangers of tints and the benefits of Gaviscon. After Jonny we had Brandon Charleston and why Bob The Builder is just dishonest, union propaganda. Dean Helliwell then explained why he’s possibly the only man to have been ghosted by an ambulance. After Dean was Nick Morey. Nick introduced us to a new phrase we’ll all be dropping into casual conversation: balls deep in a Super Mario game. It was then over to Ray Fordyce who’s recently single and now has daddy issues. Or at least he has issues with any man who tries to call him daddy! The evening’s penultimate act was Keith Mendes with the true value of an engaging smile. Closing the show was Darcy Moreland. Darcy’s had a tough few days. He lost his headphones so has been going about with nothing but his thoughts going on in his head. Terrifying!
So that was Wednesday at The Bell. Headlining next Wednesday we’ve Jim Hooker and Phil Green.
