Comedy @ Bucks SU

Tuesday 9th February saw Bucks' comedy play host to BBC radio 4's Mitch Benn. Famous for his musical comedy, he was joined on stage by Joe Rowntree and compere Andrew Lawerence for the comedy central live gig. Andrew lawerence first took to the stage to warm up the eager crowd. With his weird voice and great comic timing, the red haired comedian's stand up was both shocking and hilarious in places. Next up was Joe Rowntree. Introducing himself to the audience as a Peter Andre lookalike, his performance was wacky, loud and greatly entertaining. And while a little crude in places; he got the audience giggling in their seats. Definitely a young rising star to look out for.After a short interval, we were joined again by our host Andrew Lawerence, who casually introduced us to our headline act. A popular favourite on the university circuit, and one of the best and the most sought after comedy songwriters in the country, Mitch Benn entertained the Bucks crowd with a selection of his clever songs. From the reason why he wants to adopt an ethnic baby, to a superb musical version of the hungry caterpillar, the audience were left in stitches by his enticing and enchanting melodies.Bucks comedy nights are definitely something you should witness at least once in your life. If you missed out this time, make sure you get down here next time.
