Kings Head, Crouch End
Comedy night on Sunday - best of the month (apparently)

Every act was shit apart from the compere, who was Will Smith (the white, posh one).

First Act: Some German bloke who told unfunny jokes and then explained them at great length (I'm sure I've seen him on telly recently though).

Second Act: So shit I can't remember.

Third Act: This young girl. She was vaguely funny. Started talking about Sky Sharks, which got me giggling. Suddenly, she looks at me and asks how her act is going, I just shrugged. Apparently this is the worst thing I could have done. A positive response would have been good. A negative response would have given her something to work on. But a shrug tells her her act is so shit it's not even worth comenting on. Felt pretty guilty about that.

Fourth Act: A guy comes on and does the whole 'weird-bloke' act. Wasn't funny at all. He decided to play a short surrealist film about him pouring sugar onto a bench - also shit, not even a good pastiche.

Fifth Act: Some old London Gangster type, who everybody laughed at for fear of having their faces slit.

Wasn't a great night.

However, I've been since then and it has been very, very funny.

/length is my middle name.
