Long Live Comedy @ Dog and Parrot 2nd February 2010

Dan was emcee again tonight, probably just to stop George doing it (he’s pedantic like that you know). This week he decided to try other peoples jokes to see if we guessed who’s they were correctly, we didn’t. He was leeching on young women as usual; girls over 27 need not apply! Still he did crucify George and better him than me (that was last week and probably every week after he reads this). Anyway back to the acts.

First up was Phil Golder, back from a long absence with some new material. He talked up Afghanistan and got a lot of laughs out of blowing his nose, always a good comedic action I find. Not a bad return at all. James Christopher next, more Afghan jokes; he’s always getting compared to other people by the way he looks, so I won’t add to it this week. It was a tight set with lots of new stuff. Nice Trench coat too.

Up after the break was just another minute (don’t sue us). Sharon tried to host, God bless her and at least she gave it a go! I think a review of the rules before hand would have been handy! On the panel was Dickie Gardner, Steve Hesse, George Zach and Pete Thompson (former champion, but came last I think this time!) Topics included: haemorrhoids, Tiles, French Cheese, Greece and Porn (the last two of course George is excelled in). Of course George won he can rant for Greece!

So another break and back into the acts, Dickie Gardner kicked us off with the idea of

A rape alarm for a present (not his idea I stress!), the art of overhearing comments and conversations and other tip bits, a short set tonight but quite Sharpe. Dan then talked about space docking (you don’t want to know) and putting poo in a condom (it’s a gay thing apparently!). Last but not least was Sharon Race, now some people think I’m racist, I’m not I quite like Sharon Race, she may struggle to use a timer, be unable to add up basic numbers but she probably does a mean curry (that’s a joke don’t write in and complain!) she whizzed through as we were running short, but managed to do some new chav based material and recovered well from the just a minute mishap earlier. It’s all learning Sharon!
