Dog and Parrot Long live Comedy 26th January 2009

Dan was back to emcee again with more wicked stories of his misspent January. Up first was Nick Cranston with his usual filth, including masturbation material and he was the first to start calling the girl with the tattoos on her leg, legs girl, which continued throughout the night much to her grievance. Next up was Connor Pierce who talked adverts, looking very casual, with frizzy ginger hair . Made the mistake of asking the audience who he could impersonate getting the inevitable reply of Mick Hucknell. Still not bad for a first gig.

After the break was John Barker, doing his lets learn English sketch. Sounding as Alan Partridge as ever all in dark with his brother on stage, the first of the night to say “Haiti” brave, but amusing. Kevin Wikinson up next, another newbie who was taking to the stage for the first time. Masturbation and dogs were on the menu and he got a big laugh as he came on stage, unfortunately it was not for him it was for legs girl falling down and doing the splits as she tried to leave the room. There’s something about this place that attracts extremely drunk women, but as Dan said we all still would. Still Kevin recovered the focus and had quite a good set. Dan then talked about relationships before Sharon Race took to the stage. Wearing a scarf, she tried some new stuff, informing us of how Newcastle fairs in the national polls, along with the usual call centre banter.

Another break, Up next was Carlos (who didn’t look quite as rapey as Dan had made out) who proceeded to raise the tone of the night...oh no wait sorry this was Carlos, he shared with us some of the darker analogies he had pondered this Christmas and revealed interesting truths regarding tasks he deems suitable for his mother to carry out. He seemed to have genuinely disturbed the two girls at the front, who were obviously unaware of the good doctor’s reputation.

then finishing the night was Simon Buglass, ex Byker groove (sort of) wearing his trademark flat cap he talked life, love (or singleness) why he’s still single and Susan Boyle. An eventful night as usual, don’t you just love drunk women.
