An impromptu addition to the schedule to see Nick Kocher perform stand up, this was a showcase show also featuring Sami Abu Wardeh, Linus Karp.
The hosts, Ben Goldmith and Chris East, cut a truly amateur overly enthusiastic, almost student-like, feel of MCs coming up with tedious games to engage the audience and frankly banal hosting; it could have passed for satire or anti-comedy had the notion of meta-ness surfaced.
Nick Kocher gave a very amusing anecdote of being caught by his father in the middle of some self-pleasure, while Wardeh was surprisingly interesting as a cigarette-ed psychic guitar player. Karp's premise of dissecting the modern Cats the Musical film as a masterpiece of cinema sounds intriguing though had a similarly pained feel passable comedy as the hosts did.
