Had a cracking evening at the Comedy Box watching stand-up headlined by Bristol comedian John Robins. His very self-effacing style and his narrative delivery, focussing mainly on the embarrassments of growing up had the audience in stitches. A great and lengthy story about romancing a girl via the online mode of meeting, followed stories of being bullied at school, inability to be less camp and confronting a noisy neighbour drum and bass party were all told with pleasing delivery and engaging personality. Two thumbs up - and well worth catching again.
The underbill saw David Ward doing a scattergun delivery of punchlines which tried to come on the back of interacting with the front row of tables. All went rather wrong when he picked on a girl called Lucy who was single and asked what happened in her last relationship. The answer was that he had died of a heart attack. Unfortunately, Ward tried to joke on that and a car crash ensued. Shame because otherwise he was amusing.
All in all a good evening - and go see John Robins!
