Pappy's events are nearly always a raucous event, with Parry bulldozing his presence onto the stage, Clarky inevitably corpsing at some point and Crosby become frustrated at Parry.
Pappy's Live at the Cabaret Bar was a 'best of' show, or similar to Beta Male's promise "sketches that we could remember", and even with that promise Clarky was faltering at moments to great comic effect.
Throughout the show Parry made hilarious reference to his Best Newcomer nomination and allusions to him not needing Crosby and Clarky to continue his career, though hopefully the threesome will continue to remain strong.
The night brought back some classic sketches, including the brilliant Three Songs sketch, the Make Your Own Adventure Sketch, the Ben's Wife sketch, the gloves song and the YMCA sketch from probably the most brilliant piece of work, Last Show Ever, and a host of other classics including Dean the dinosaur and the tallest man in the world.
The highlight of the night must have been the Marty, Mim and Julius sketch, where Parry enters the stage dressed in only a makeshift toga and, tonight, no underwear. Once again, the festival sees some outrageous nudity, but the funny came from Clarky and Crosby's attempts of preventing Parry from becoming indecent, and Parry's many attempts of pushing the boundaries. An unfortuante girl who probably saw far too much was asked how old she was. Her reply of "Should I lie?" brought the house down.
Overall a thoroughly enjoyable night. Long may Pappy's continue.
