LLC Review 15th December 2009


The penultimate longlivecomedy weekly of the year saw Sharon Race take the emcee slot in preparation for her monthly ladies only act night at the telegraph. Her first task was to introduce regular emcee and grinning idiot Dan Willis, who despite being drunk again (for a change!) delivered a good pro set. He was on the shandy’s apparently, he must have had more than 20. He talked about the dangers of gigs in the middle of nowhere and hospital disaster stories. Next up Nathan Hudson, who has been to LLC a few times now and only gets better. Nathan looked sleek as he talked about beer percentages, women and computers.

Up after the break Paul Gerrard, wearing a nice bright pink shirt. Looking very uncle fester at this time of the year. Talked about chav’s and tried out mostly new material, LLC’s very own shotgun one-liner. Then there was Matt Burrows, new on the scene, talking about twilight and Christmas. He said the word pussy, but it so didn’t suit his little innocent looking posh face; it was only his 2nd gig.

The final break brought Steve Robertson, dressed very smartly, like a priest. Known for the time he performed hammered, even leaving his keys on the stage! This time he was sober-ish and ranted throughout his set, he did a recap of 2009 and slagged Jordan off big style and reviewed twilight. Next up Lee Kyle Twirled Sharon around on his entry to the stage and was another suited and booted act. Dragged the tone down but it style! He did really well for a new guy on the scene.

Finally it was Carlos, who was talking about women. Regular performer at the club and no stranger to controversy. Women confuse him; he talked about his relationships with women throughout his life, keeping the tone to the same level as the previous act Lee Kyle, pushing down the barriers of taste. Putting in a good set ending another good night down the dog and parrot. We even finished just before 11 this week for a change. Next week covers night!
