Gig Review 24th November 2009



LongLiveComedy@ the dog and parrot 24th of November 2009

Last week’s gig review

Well it was a packed night at the Dog and Parrot tonight you even had to queue for drinks! The notepad with comments on went missing this week so I will recap what I can from memory!

This week John Smith was comparing and did his hardest to aggravate the audience, especially the front row. His aggressive and nonchalant style was raising a few eyebrows, but he did well for a last minute thing. Dan Willis took a rest from Comparing and did a nice quick set, Paul Gerrard rattled through his set as usual with the fastest gag rate since Tim Vine. Sharon Race managed to fend off a heckler with great Style and Alan Fletcher was back after a long break and showed how much he's improved from his very first gigs which were also at the D+P.

Lee Kyle did well to make himself heard despite the problems with the mike.
Jared had a load of friends at the gig and they loved his stuff, his Ariel presence was strong indeed. Matt Pottinger couldn't use the broken mike so he just shouted his set which for his 2nd gig showed a lot of promise. Finally Nick Cranston closed the night with his usual foul offensive but amusing level of self depreciation. Yet again pointing out that no one understands women, not even women. More detailed gigs again when I find my notepad!
