Such larks!
On Friday evening, Hils, Crog, Madam Arcati, Julie, Ants, Mark and I all trotted off to a tent(!) on the South Bank, in the rain, to revel in the madness of Ida Barr's Bingo show!
Ida - the creation of the genius that is Christopher Green [see here and here] - is, of course, one of our fave comedy acts [Hils and Crog even had her perform/hold court at their wedding reception!], and although we have been to see her on many occasions, she didn't disappoint...
Her Bingo calls are anarchic:
Her mash-ups of Music Hall numbers (and even "Will.i.am Blake's Jerusalem") with modern urban music (the style she calls "Artificial Hip-Hop") are hilarious:
And, of course, no Ida Barr show would be complete until you've done the Hokey-Cokey and a Conga line:
Heaps of fun - topped-off with me having a very late night at Halfway II Heaven indeed - we wouldn't have missed it for the world!
If these little snippets are anything to go by, it's no wonder you suffered a tent in the rain! "Get Your Coat On" is brilliant!
