Jasoooon Manfoooooord!

So... last night went to see Jason Manford perform at the Gulb. I can't help but feel a little bad for performers who come to the Gulb. Most of the time the place is pretty packed, and those who are in the audience are certainly glad to be there, but you can often see a look of disappointment on their faces as it is by no means a big theatre. But we definitely love them being there, and if there happens to be, in some crazy random happenstance, some awesome comedian thinking about coming to the Gulbenkian reading this, please come! we'd love to have you!

Anyway, so Jason Manford... (if you don't know who I'm talking about see the video in the post below).

First thing's first. The man is ADORABLE. He's the kind of guy you just wanna hug. His comedy seems to be observational, and not at all angry (and if you know anything about me you know my dislike for 'angry' comedy). They seem to be laced with childhood stories and 'weeing' anecdotes– including one about a coke bottle whilst driving, and a survey about urinal usage– which reinforce his childlike demeanour and makes you wanna follow him on his little story trajectory.

Urgh. I don't know that I should write reviews, I'm pretty rubbish at them. But I had a lot of fun last night. And I should say that his voice that he did when he was impersonating someone stupid made me die from laughing. DIE.

Music suggestions later in the week.

Much love. x
