Gig report Quillarious no5 19/06/17

Vickram Quillarious! The moment I stepped into Bounds Green tube station I melted. Summer’s here and that means hot, sticky, smelly people, man-spreading themselves on the tube, but enough about me. And yet acts and friends came. Our nice friendly lounge just about bearable in the heat. The sponge I use for the white board became the only means to mop my brow.

It’s hard to get the brain into gear on a night like this so I challenged myself to go beyond MC and deliver material, which was well received. I find mixing the two rolls of MC an act, very hard to do but it seemed to work.

Thanks as ever to all the other acts especially Stonewall Toda who performed with such gusto that it felt like air conditioning. (Yes you're welcome to quote that on your publicity)

Stonewall Toda

From a MC point of view it’s nice to get the room so comfortable that our one and only audience member Mika, from Japan, and was in London for just six more days, got up and told a joke in Japanese without any embarrassment at all. Until I asked her what it was about.  Way to rude to tell!

Quillarious: 

Quillarious was a little bumpy which was very useful. We jumped back to the punch development round because I hadn't clarified the set up round leaving us with a load of hack lines and a weak scenario.  Leaning, Learning... six weeks to go.

Fake News:

“So Jerramy Corbin’s been at it again. This time in Asda where he was buying some socialist red meat, which was a rasher decision than usual but there’s been loads at steak. He sees Diane Abbott, who now works there and has type two million diabetes. Lacking iron he attempts a high five but it goes in low and he makes a right tit of himself. They both need to sit down but they hadn’t got enough seats.”

Thanks to:

Bently Browning, Steph Browne, Hugh Sington, Ben and Sam A.K.A. Stonewall Toda, Winter Foenander, Michael Hughes, Aaron Levene.
