New Start
A new comedy night has
started in Cirencester with nomadic comedy club “The Comedy Coalition” hosting
shows at the Barn Theatre. With acts that are breaking through nationally, ticket
prices are at a reasonable £10.
First up on stage was
Neil Macfarlane, a Scottish comic with a demeanour that let us sit back and
enjoy the stories. With punch lines as well as incidents contributing to the
humour, host Chris Tavner got the crowd going and another round of applause for
the first act as he left the stage.
Adam Rushton, coming in
from Manchester on the night, helped us get towards the break with real life
capers. Host Chris Tavner kept up the good vibe and the crowd were eager for
more.
Second Half
By the start of the
second half Laurence Tuck came on with quite a different vibe to the other
comedians. A strong character was apparent to his set, and despite it being the
first time the crowd has set eyes on him, people went along with his stage persona
(we can only hope it is).
Headliner Vikki Stone had
an act solid as granite. Singing comedienne from the southlands Vikki is well
known for “The Philip Schofield Song” which saw her raid This Morning and get
Philip sniffing her underwear. Not satisfied with one celeb crush, she’s moved
on to Brian Cox with a new tribute tune to the TV professor.
Leaving the crowd a bit
stunned to have seen someone so good in Cirencester, Vikki left the stage to a
rapture of applause.
Next show by the Comedy
Coalition will be June 14th at Ingleside House.
