Dan White Present
Comedy Night
(At The Shed)
Dan White, Lily Clay,
Camel & Bad Axe
The recession is biting even the best of us in the arse and with more of us looking for cheaper alternative forms of entertainment I suggest you look no further than Dan Whites Comedy Nights at the Shed. With cheap admission, cheapish drinks live music and cans of beer for only £2 it’s a steal at half the price.
A word of warning before I go any further, the comedy nights are very much over 18’s and not for the easily offended.
I thought for the first time ever I was going arrive fashionably late for an 8pm gig poling up at 7:55ish, but no it turned out that fashionably late for an 8pm gig was actually 8:30.
The night started at 8:30 and first to be introduced to the stage
was Lilly Clay and her acoustic songs, written about personal experiences. I wouldn’t call her work comedy music but at the same time she has some very funny lyrics with in her songs. Young Lilly looked confident at the front and has a very tender almost innocent voice that I loved. The one thing I did not like was the stuttering style of singing she ever so easily slipped in to during songs; Lilly you have a beautiful voice just sing.
Then came Camel, a tall, thin, long haired quirky guy that leapt into action with a smile and a bounce in his step. Surprisingly Camel is not on MySpace, Facebook or the internet anywhere, which being a comedy man I thought he was taking the piss, but no I was wrong, I think there is a phone box to call if you want him, lol. Camels music is mainly funny cover songs, but his one song about necrophilia will have you doubled over with laughter, then you quickly stop and have to question your sanity.
Bad Axe well, tie up your grannies, hide your daughters and walk away …. no runaway if you’re easily offended because Bad Axe ‘don’t give a fuck!.’ With songs like Barrack Obama Got F*cked By A Friendly Lama and Cliff Richard's Arsehole you know your in for a explicit, no holes bared night of comedy not for the fainthearted. The three piece band from
Nottingham are definitely not fashion icons nor are they good role models for children or even adults for that matter, but they are devilishly funny and incredibly entertaining. Having shouted at people and for walking in front of them, blocked up a door and bang the roof with nearby stools screaming ‘shut the fuck up’ I have to say I was a little hesitant to go to the toilet. When I finally made a break for the toilet and started to pee I found to my amazement the Bad Axe bass player screaming to the guy he had just followed in ‘fucking pee you cunt, fucking pee’ and amazingly still playing his bass guitar, photo opportunity and one for the blog. I will be seeing Bad Axe again and I strongly suggest you do to.
Finally it was the birthday boy’s time to shine, celebrating his 22nd Dan White took to the stage a little intoxicated for the beginning of his comedy set. I have said this before but I’m going to
say it again, the comical magic Dan brings to the stage is tremendously hilarious and childish. His laid back folk take to music really works then put into the mix his crystal clear vocals and simple but catchy melodies and you have a very talented comedy musician that will have you singing about sticking your hand up your bum in no time.
Right then lady's and gentlemen, thanks again for reading, to let you all know iwill not be making any blog post for this week because i am away on holiday, yay. When i arrive back then next blog to be posted will be about my trip to StayFree and the new Charlotte
All the best and enjoy
