So i went to a comedy gig the night before last (My first time seeing comics live). And I will say now it was amazing! I am majorly into comedy and love watching live comedy (on DVDs) but there is something about seeing it live which just makes the whole experience amazing! I went with four of my friends to the Hammersmith Apollo and everyone who went seemed to enjoy it.
There were about six or seven comics performing and each had around about a five minute set. The highlight of the evening was a comic called Terry Alderton who I had never seen or heard of before. His act was basically him acting completely insane for the whole time ... AND IT WAS AWESOME!!! He perfectly walked the line of hilarious man acting insane and completely mental kind of scary guy which made the act even better.
Dara O'Briain o was, of course, also hilarious and the only person who kind of let the side down was Shapi Khorsandi who was the 'host' of the evening meaning that she would come out after each comedian to introduce the next (after making a few jokes) i admit that some her stuff did genuinely make me laugh but after the first time she came out it felt like she was just trying to play the 'women have it hard' and the 'Iranians have it hard too' cards. Now as i am not Iranian or a woman I don't know how accurate this is but as far as I am aware women and Iranians are not down trodden minorities who suffer at the hands of others meaning that i didn't find her jokes that funny.
On a side note my converse are falling apart ... seriously there isn't much fabric holding them together and i feel like I should probably get some new shoes but at the same time some part of me thinks that the torn up converse look is majorly cool (although as I have spent my entire life being the looser nerd who doesn't have the slightest idea what is fashionable I'm not sure how accurate this idea is) anyways I'm going to love you and leave you with a new sign of which one of my friends wanted me to use.
Jack off!
