A good night, a packed bill, and that ‘hooray, it’s just after payday’ feel all round.
This week’s theme of Reality TV was embraced by all. For the first time. Brilliant. And the crowd seemed to be happy that we were all talking about similar stuff. Amazingly, Jade Goody got off lightly!
Al opened the night, telling a tale about how he was on big brother once?! He introduced Carl Hutchinson and Catherine Scott. Carl had a few things to talk about, and was not happy with the celebrity big brother debacle. Not at all. Catherine was back for the first time in ages, and told of her time in byker grove as an extra. “look, it’s my hair! Behind that table!”
Pete took the middle section, and was already hammered as he was replacing his smoking habit with a drinking one. He introduced Dickie Gardner, Vladimir McTavish, and Donnachda O’Connil. Vladimir McTavish had a few things that he wanted to see on reality TV. It was a sharp downward spiral of filth. Very good. We love that he comes over all the time, a genuine pro, and you get to see him for a measly £2. Donnachda again showed off his Woody-Allen-esq writing skills. His newer material about his parents as solid as anything he has had before.
The final section saw Callum finishing off the competition, then introducing Stu Robertson and John Scott. Stu was in excellent form, telling us tales of REAL reality TV, along with CCTV footage of his mate beating someone up in Barrow. Bless. John Scott finished the evening in style. He performed in a laid back style, put still reminded everyone that the noises in the back yard could well be a serial killer!
This weeks competition was to suggest your own reality TV show. My favourite was ‘Who wants to be a Milliner’, but the winner was ‘Charver Safari – hunters drive through Benwell shooting charvers’. Well deserved!
