Write-up by guest MC Barbara Fernandez
We had a fun time at the Bell, with Declan Kennedy. Declan says he may look like he’s just been in a riot – he hasn’t, he’d rather live the life of a kettle – always ready to boil. Next up was Marigold Lately who passes on the warm milk – no more gagging in her life thanks – before Matthew Mj Hunter gave us the best medicine for an ailing marriage: one partner loses their hearing. Kyriakos Vlachos (pictured) then serenaded us about being a slag and antidepressants before Eytan Bayme presented an excellent question for God. If God wrote the bible, how come it isn’t a better book? We then had Tom Draper with some sexy sultry poetry for the underground before René Nathan gave us the best way to keep your boyfriend out of the water: pop a wig on his head. Charlie Firth then showed how sleep deprivation is just the same as being drunk: you too can show up to work after a few pints – just ignore the insomnia sick on your shirt. Closing the first half was the fabulous Mark Vincent, who has perfected his anti-mugging look, aka apparel that says ‘nits and ringworm’ – and explained why everyone has a good book in them: it’s thanks to kids protecting themselves from caning with a good ol’ book aligned with cleft.
Our second half opened with Declan Evans, whose dad had excellent advice for him as a kid during a riot:: just grab the other end of the telly and race out of the shop. SJ Wyatt then shared how they studied chemistry at uni – oops no, turned out it was chemicals – before Jay Middleton gave us a lifestyle all doctors envy: sex, drugs and sausage rolls. It was then over to Nick Bain and a new definition of twink: three-way income, no kids – before Tom David Manning opened up with his greatest fear: that just like him, yet another US shooter will turn out to be autistic. Next was Sam Day with a ginger twiglett battle cry before Ollie Taylor unveiled the evil side of Sir David Attenborough – snorting snow off of snow leopards. Closing the show was the wonderful Marcisaaccomedy. Despite what some say, Marc is not a shameful promiscuous slut – he’s got no shame. Was Marc dropped as a kid? No. He was pushed.
So that was our show! Join us next Wednesday at the Bell for ginger comedy gold that is the hilarious Matthew Mj Hunter and the cracking comedy coolness of Kwami Odoom.
