Went to Gorilla Monsoon last night with Claire, as I’d indicated I would. It was all quite remarkably good, with a couple of impressive comedians including a bloke from Cardiff who didn’t tell jokes so much as rant loudly and quickly, yet was still very worthy of laughs and applause. It’s good to see Gorilla Monsoon back, but the crowd could still quite comfortably be larger if they pulled their collective fingers out and did some publicity, like getting their website populated with information…
Oh, and it’s Open Mic night – Bash The Banana or Ground Zero or whatever they’re calling it these days – on Sunday 12th November, so if you were disappointed with the fact that I wasn’t telling any jokes myself last night, come along on Sunday 12th and I’ll make up for it.
I think the Gorilla Monsoon website is fine as it is – a nice subtle humour in it’s lack of any useful information and suitably abusive to people who try to use it! Why mess up the message with actual information.
Did you enjoy ‘Severance’ by the way? I thought it was excellent – that very rare combination being genuinely horrific but also managing to be really funny (how awful, yet hysterically-ironic is it when the bear trap snaps on the guys leg for the fourth time, or when he’s towed away by a psycho in the background while his mates are having a cuppa – splendid stuff!)
