New Comedians #5-8: Laughs for Charity

Last Tuesday me and my flatmate Charlotte went to the Teenage Cancer Trust’s an Evening of Comedy at the Royal Albert Hall. It was a great night with 5 comedians doing sets.


                        No way of being picked on by the comedians from where we were sitting.

Kevin Bridges compared the whole evening and did stand up throughout the night. He was much funnier than I thought he would be.

The first comedian to do a set was Doc Brown, whose main selling point was funny raps. Then Kerry Godliman pretty much did a set about her washing machine. Although just as she was getting into the swing of things and got really funny her set was over.

Frankie Boyle within minutes was causing controversy with his jokes. You do wonder how his brain thinks the things he says.

After Frankie Jon Richardson did a set, but having seeing him a few years ago I can’t count him for the challenge. However Noel Fielding who was last one I can count and he as expected was completely random telling a weird dream about being a tea bag and impersonating a character he created called chicken boy.


What I noticed was different with this comedy night, to the ones I’ve been to at comedy clubs is with comedy clubs the comedians try to cram in as many anecdotes as possible in their time. However with the comedians at the Albert Hall they focused on one or two stories and really got a lot of material out of them. 

8 comedians down, 21 to go!
