Anyway, tickets firmly in Lisa's handbag, we made our way to The Guildhall for an evening of comedy. The last time we were in such an abode was in Edinburgh, just before festival,c 7 years ago ,i wore a loud shirt and sat in the front,didnt laugh much and got picked on.A man like me does not make the same mistake twice,so we settled for a comfy table for 2 , about 30 yards back right and a plain light purple number to deflect any attention. The wife looked gorgeous as well.
Opening act was a strangish fellow Demitris Deek. An impresive array of comedians including the superb Stewart Lee are listed on his my space blog, http://www.myspace.com/demitrisdeech and I hope he can get some lessons first. Yes it was a preview night but rather disconcerting that he kept referring to his notes...Frank Skinner he aint but some promising material, needs to increase his stage presence and stop mumbling. Likeable but not main act material yet.
This honour was left to Jo Caulified who didnt disappoint. Fair happier in the limelight, dare I say that some of her male counterparts dont allow her on the shows I watch, she flowed freely as the Becks was doing, and provoked tears of laughter from Mrs McGill, particularly when ripping into us men. Fair game I suppose but also some good topical material, local banter,audience interaction and plain old fashion jokes rounded off an excellent evening.
We hope to be back again to our new found venue favourite.
