The Comedy Store @ Pyramid Arts Centre, Warrington – 6th March 2010

I’ve not been to the Comedy Store in Warrington since November, and I’m happy to report that the audience was as mental as ever.  The MC for the evening was Justin Moorhouse, who’s an old hand at the Pyramid and knew how to cope with the odd mix of people, with the ladies of the Warrington Day Nursery on the front row getting the bulk of his attention.

The first act on was Andrew Lawrence whose Frank Spencerish voice, unusual appearance and quirky delivery divided the audience.  The half of the audience who understood the concept of comedy seemed to find him very funny; the half of the audience that had seemingly been plonked there at random were utterly bewildered by him.  The second act was Andi Osho whose confident delivery won the audience over.  She’s a very likeable performer and she thankfully got the other half of the audience back in the swing of things.

After the interval, Justin had another crack at the nursery ladies, and in particular one of them who was training to be a teacher.  She didn’t seem to like his implications that she was too thick to teach, but that’s what you get for sitting at the front.  The final act was Canadian Jason John Whitehead who delivered a confident, solid set and rounded off an excellent evening.

It was probably the strongest line up that I’ve seen at the Pyramid’s Comedy Store evenings for a long time and was well worth the £13 ticket price.
