LongLiveComedy@ the dog and parrot 8th of December 2009

George Zach was emcee tonight adding his charm for only the second time at longlivecomedy. Not that you’d know that, as he owned the stage. Dan being out of his face was a mere coincidence. He wore a nice bright yellow t-shirt so we could all see him, how kind. Sharon Race was on form, but wasn’t happy with George’s introduction of “she’s pretty funny.” She humoured us about condoms and call centres. Sean Gorman next up, ex magician and stadium performer succumbing to the call of comedy. He was dressed stylishly and talked about sex lists. Doing a good another good set.

Co Longlivecomedy founder Pete Thompson was up next doing an amusing cover of fuck her gently by tenacious D as he’s away for covers night on the 22nd. Christian Steel was up next, once local pro, now living down south and it showed as he looked dressed for the harsh northern winter. Talked about mediums and driving stand-up comedians around.

Self proclaimed king of comedy Ian Todd up next, Ian took to the stage wearing his famous Freddy Kruger looking t-shirt, half of act pirate chat, he bounced about on the stage like an over enthusiastic child, in his nonchalant hyperactive style. On top form tonight, he talked about his love for classified ads amongst other things. Last up was Andrew Arrowsmith as Another just a minute was cancelled ironically at the last minute due to the start being the last minute before 11. Next time gadget. Andrew looked the part even wearing a tie, while talking about the perils of Tiger Woods and other new material. Next weeks the penultimate longlivecomedy outing of the year, followed by our Christmas special covers night.
