Glue's Stand Appearance

For the benefit of Talking Pish readers who couldn’t make it along to The Stand last night to see YOMG take part in the Comedy Unit’s Rough Cuts here’s a quick run down of the evening. The night was compered by Reverend Obadiah Steppenwolfe III. Neil, one of the people who had come to see us, made the mistake of sitting down the front where the Reverend singled him out for the rest of the night.

The evening began with some short films. They were mainly from this guy and some that appeared to be made by the Comedy Unit themselves featuring Phil Nichol and Tony Carter.

After this a group of comedians including Susan Calman and Keir McAllister performed scripts that had been sent in for the night. That was the end of the first half. We were up next.

It was kind of odd doing someone else’s gig and having a lot of other people milling about, but it was nice to have a dressing room for one thing.

We kicked off with ‘The Old Mugging’ which got laughs in all the right places. Then we did ‘The Wifestealer’. Me in a wig and glasses always seems to get a laugh.

After that Bertie went down well, although we should have asked the lighting guy to keep the lights down until we set him up, some people still seemed to find that funny though.

All in all we went over pretty well and I think we were quite pleased.

When we came off there were some more short films from Limmy and one featuring and the aforementioned Reverend.

So it seemed to be a successful night and what’s more we got paid for it. And paid quite well considering the limited time we were onstage.

We’re at The Stand next on Tuesday the 5th of December doing a 10 minute spot at a Red Raw night that also features my pal Charlotte and Scott Agnew.
