Crazy Bird Comedy Club, Stroud Brewery, Sunday June 25

THE Crazy Bird Comedy Club held a night of hilarity at Stroud Brewery on Sunday that thoroughly entertained the “large group of people who can’t afford to go to Glastonbury”.

Ever-great compere Geoff Whiting introduced a line-up consisting of the hilarious Sully O’Sullivan, raunchy Rosie Holt, witty Dickie Richards, and Britain's Got Talent finalist Danny Posthill.

The night kicked off with Geoff and Sully providing some amazing audience interaction: in such a small and intimate venue, this was the perfect start to the evening, breaking down any barrier between audience and comedians, and allowing the 100-plus crowd to have as much of an impact on the flow of the night as the stand-ups themselves.

For me, the highlight was the end of O’Sullivan’s performance which consisted of a stage dive that turned into the lift from Dirty Dancing, performed by Sully himself and audience member Mycah Elliot-Jenkins whilst the entire crowd sang “The Time of My Life”.

Headliner Danny Posthill also provided some memorable impressions, from David Attenborough through Sarah Millican to Donald Trump, and the night was a resounding success, literally a “spit-your-drink-out-funny” event, perfect for an audience in the mood to keep laughing.

All the acts worked well together with a balanced mix of one liners, topical comedy and storytelling that kept the crowd’s attention throughout.

Comedy Club maestro Nick Bird summed it up as “a fantastic evening - the crowd always makes it, and they weren't shy to come forward and get involved”.
