The comedians who signed themselves up for the booshfest in kent this year might well have been somewhat surprised by the thorough upstaging they were dealt by the days musical lineup. Although the tv series does feature the odd song here and there, most would consider the comedy element of programe to be the stronger of the two.
Arriving at the site, then, one can only imagine the comedians' first moments as they saw the huge stage, and assuming that their prescence would be at least equal to the music 'half' of the day, wandered around, searching in vain for another similarly sized venue for themselves. what they would eventually find could only have been a disappointment: a miniscule marquee for about a hundred people, which would somehow be host to some of the best comedy acts of great britain.
Despite deaing with a ridiculous 1 in 1 out door policy (for the area *surounding* the tent), yours truly managed to blag a prime spot on the inside. However, as ive used up my alloted 200 words on describing the single obvious downfall of the day, I only have time to give quick 4-word ratings for the acts i actually saw. So here goes:
Josie long: slightly muckier, still charming
Ross noble: energetic improv, frenetic buffoonery
Robin ince: political middle-ager, needed longer
Paddys fun: less entertaining whitehouse exp
Arj barker: conchord costar, good shit
Arnab chanda: preteen looks, confidence abounds
david doherty: highly infectious keyboarding. Ace.
Mark watson: energetic, crowd working situational,
matt berry: oversized ego, DARKPLACE RAP
matt holness (wier) old material, still good
tony law: nutjob yank(?) accented wierdo
paul foot: awkward camp sitcom = meh.
Paul sinna: "gay"
