I really don't ever post here but went for Live at the Chapel last night, John Robins was host, and lineup included
Janine Harouni, Sharon Wanjohi, Tim Key, and John Kearns headlined
Unfortunately Ive only heard of the John(s) and Tim but an overall great night of laughs. Anyone whose seen my blog knows my obsession with Tim Key so it was so surreal seeing him in person that he was a real grown man and not a tiny gremlin on my screen. I was working myself into a sheer state of panic when I saw him leave the church and cross the street to the pub but knew if I didn't try and talk to him that I'll beat myself up over it.
Also cause I've followed his work as much as I can from a tiny island a long haul flight away from the UK, so I've read his books, listened to his late night poetry, religiously watched no more jockeys, bought live stream tickets, you get the gist. So, I kinda knew what he would be like on stage, grumpy, demanding, arrogant, all in the best funny ways of course! But seeing it live was so different. He was hilarious and everything I wanted live. it did mean that I was very intimidated to approach him after but he was so lovely and kind.
I didn't know what to expect of John Kearns because I really didn't enjoy him on cats does countdown but he was hilarious. He mentioned Sam Campbell in a gag and I lost my shit. John Robins was an excellent host as well. Writing this post makes me realise that I could never be a comedy reviewer because all I want to say is - I laughed.
Unfortunately I don't really have much to add for Sharon and Janine though both good, solid gags, I fear I was too consumed by Tim key obsession :"(
10/10 now trying to get in waiting list for Bristol comedy garden of day with Simon Amstell, Tim Key, Sam Campbell, Kiri Pritchard-McLean
