Comedy Club Milton Keynes Compere His name was... umm... no it’s gone! There was a compere but along with his name the ‘act’ was missing. A tip for Mr Umm, you don’t need to prefix everything you say with “but I was just trying to work in this joke”. Forgettable. Victor Daniels If, of a morning, you find yourself smoking a spliff on the way to the job centre you may well have laughed your arse off. Unfortunately for Victor I don’t think many of the middle class Milton Keynes audience quite got the joke. Parts of his routine were well observed, particularly when talking about today’s youth culture and our abhorrent public transport system. Other highlights included the repeated focus on melon eating, not physically or even metaphorically, in fact this total lack of context lightened his often slightly wayward points. There’s no doubt Victor has talent and, one day, could well stand up to the comedy genius of Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy. Showing promise, but routine and audience were out of sync. Ricky Glover – MIA The ex-boxer’s fans were unimpressed. Paul Zerdin To soften the blow of the absence of the bereaving Ricky Glover, the MK comedy club dragged along the 2002 Royal Variety Show headline puppeteer. Paul Zerdin. Oh Joy! My fears were heightened further when a mid-thirties, Children’s BBCesque, man walked on stage carrying a box containing two cuddly toys. Despite my low expectations, and certainly NOT because of them, the next forty-five minutes passed too quickly in a sea of laughter, shock and yet more laughter. If Paul’s slightly twisted ability to bring a cuddly toy to life wasn’t unsettling enough, the fabulous personalities of these creations struck the cringe / giggle balance perfectly. The highlight was perhaps lecherous “grandpa” ogling young Lucy in the front row. Her boyfriend’s fiery displeasure was quickly extinguished as he was invited on stage to be a human puppet – “my, what big hands you have Paul”. So entertaining, he will rightly encourage you to buy his DVD. Star Rating 3/5 Review by Justin Spary |
