After a brief hiatus, last night's return to Comedy Candy was much needed quenching of the comedy thirst. Headlining the show was Richard Herring who strings along a joke and loops it back into itself doubling the silliness and interweaving it like some master gooner. I'm thinking about his potato and apple routine incorporating french school kids.
The two lady comediennes - Caroline Clifford and Holly Walsh were both witty winning over the audience with their dry candour. Will definitely keep an eye out for them. I've watched so much comedy over the years (especially in my month up in Edinburgh eons ago) and some comedian are so formulaic and nondescript blending into the comedy wallpaper, barely raising the obligatory chuckle which escapes from you like a soft belch. I'm thinking about the insufferable twat Rhod Gilbert whose act consists of this basic strand 'oh-listen-to-me-i'm-a-self-deprecating-welshman-just-the-sound-of-my-stupid-accent-should-make-you-laugh'. It is therefore a great relief to know that the comedy future is bright with the likes of Caroline, Holly and Josh Howie who was also on last night.
