Tight Tens ran well with all five acts very much Bear Jokes favourites, two of which have MC'd it in the past and one actually took on Pub on the Park when I found myself too far from it to run it anymore. The sets were solid and the audience warm (see photo). I stopped saying it was okay to put silver coins in the bucket and the silver stopped coming, replaced by proper money. Never underestimate the importance of your bucket speech.
First World Problems was similarly well attended and the audience were very much up for some fist pumping therapy for modern living. We had our first under sixteens in the audience and the two boys joined in with absolute unmitigated abandon. The set is now exceptionally tight though we are making tweaks everyday to squeeze the most out of every line. Importantly, it appears to be that though the "classics" we've performed for over a year still hit the mark it's the new songs that are really getting the laughs.
In the evening we headed over to the Musical Comedy Guide Showcase to host it for the night. It was great to see musical comedy in a variety of forms and the crowd, a mixture of fringe-heads and locals, really went for our closing number. As for our double act chat between acts we went for an awkward Eurovision coupling style which seemed to go down well. Flyers duly handed out we headed out to watch a show before crashing out.
