Rats comedy night Soho has for some reason only known to the people who run it returned. And what a start to the second season in our new home Barrio. Recovering from a hefty cold as my body finally surrendered to months of stress I dragged my ill self to Soho to host the show. I struggled to work out what was more painful the virus invading my body or the acts material invading my soul. After arriving at 6am to set up finally Mike our stage manager had the show ready to go at 7pm with an ambitious thirty chairs, four would have been fine as that's how many people turned up. Unless we are counting the women who used the toilet as throughout the night, what felt like hundreds of them slammed the downstairs door walking through the show to use it. There is a vicious rumour swirling around this morning that I told Mike to force them to pay to use the toilet this couldn't be further from the truth I simply told him to suggest it. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUGGESTING AND FORCING.
We were honoured to have Josh Glanc Edinburgh award nominated comedian join us,
as always the night doesn't quite know what to do when someone actually talented performs but normal service was resumed from there on in as the night dribbled to it's usual sad conclusion. In a change to our scheduled programme Ed our marketing manager who has overseen a steady decline in ticket sales (which I'm not even sure how that's possible) since taking the role got up on stage and closed with an opera song. If only he showed the same talent for marketing as he has for singing we might actually finally sell some tickets for this show and ruin more peoples lives than just mine.
