Lemoncustard's Braw or Naw
Dee Custance and Sian Bevan cast their critical eye over wha's braw and wha's naw braw about Magners' Glasgow Comedy Festival
| 06 Mar 2008
Wha's Braw?
Lemon Custard favourite, Wil Hodgson, appearing at Brel, 9 March. Pink-haired, chubby chaser, ex wrestling Care Bear collector. What more would you want? How about a Chippenham accent explaining the delights of realistic porn?
Glasgow Comedy Festival is not jam packed full with amateur theatre groups draped across the street pretending to be dead Renaissance prostitutes. The pavements are thankfully free from 'acts' committing flyering attacks, street dancing dinosaurs, and students aspiring to death by foot traffic.
John Hegley is a poet who can write,
Pointless wee poems which are not trite,
He has the brawest poster of them all,
I want to steal one for my wall.
Johnson and Boswell, Late but Live, Tron Theatre - a play created by and starring some of the finest comedians in this fair land, with the help of a dressing-up box
Wha's naw braw?
Not being allowed to say the C word in a certain vaginas-only competition. Cuntingly ironic.
Gag thievery seems to be on the rise and that makes us grumpy; if you see some upstart comedian nicking any of our jokes then hit them on the head with a cake. It's only justice.

Tommy Sheridan's reinvention as the next Richard Madeley has had to be cancelled. Nevermind though, maybe he'll be back next year as Noel Edmonds; what's more fun than a group of total strangers making deals with a complete banker and doing some swapping...?
Dead Jeremy Beadle jokes. God bless his soul, but they are fast becoming second hand. What's that condition called again? Where one hand looks smaller than other other? Oh yeah, perspective.
