Compered by Andrew O'Niell, an interesting mix of punk rocker with exuberant charm, this show had three guests and was, in part, a test of nerve from the performers against a rowdy crowd (particularly from my friend's girlfriend) but all three did rather well. First up was Zoe Lyons, who had quite a good set about a garish shirt (and other things, I can't remember what, though, I had had a lot to drink last night). Second was Chris Turner, who pulled out some great one-liners and, as always, ended with some dizzying impromptu rap, this time about penguins, existentialism and umbrellas. Last was the imperious Marcel Lucont, whose arrogance somehow managed to win over the crowd, and he had quite a nice poem (again, I forget the subject - blame the drink). Overall, quite fun.
