Review by Gavinio.

TOBY HADOKE

Toby had a good old rant about trains, politics, and parent-spouse relations. Also having a right go at some fatty from Bolton. Think it was Kay, or something. Oh yes, Vernon Kay, that's it. Unfortunately he didn't aim his vitriol at either the slapper off the Curry's adverts, or the really shit heckler at the front-right.

KERRY LEIGH

I enjoyed her act very much, but didn't really see a lot of it though. As my bird said, "Don't you fancy her? She's fit and funny!" I find it hard to disagree with that.

DAVE BISHOP

Good stage presence, and kept the momentum up, when the audience weren't fully going for it. The pace really made the act work, and definitely the best 9/11 joke I've heard in a while, without being offensive about the whole thing. Nice one fella.

Danny Hurst DANNY HURST

I think he's gay or something? Seemed to build momentum, as the audience warmed to him. I liked the way he was honest about lying where he lived for the purpose of jokes. Some real gems in there, and not a flat moment.

JASON COOKE

Jason Cooke Much better and more self-assured than last time I saw him. Used the guitar well, and I loved the animal porn. Dealt with the heckler well, but I never did find out what he was going to say about the internet. I love the "If you're looking for trouble" blues riff to bridge the different parts together. If I was to be ultra-critical, then maybe he could use a few more up to date songs; Geri Halliwell's Gasoline parody ("Vaseline") was excellent, but I don't think it's the kind of song that most people really remembered. Overall played a blinder.

Parrot PARROT

A good old traditional, spittin', swearin', Scottish comic in the mould of Billy Connolly. Not really my favourite style of comedy, but he brought the house down (for the men at least) when he went on about women trying to jerk off men. Brilliant. Every woman in the place turned to their blokes and said, "But I'm not like that, am I?"

"Er, sorry love, but I'm not laughing because he's so far off the mark, am I?"
