Southern Humor
Baby Blue Banana brought us three top international English language stand-up comics last night at the Sziget Klub Terasz. Gordon Southern is one of the most sought after comedians on the UK and international circuit. Red Redmond was the recent winner of the UK's prestigious Student Comedian of the Year award.Opening the show was award-winning American comedienne Taylor Glenn. We have not had much luck with comediennes so far both in terms of getting them here and in terms of quality. Thankfully, Taylor Glenn was quite funny and kept the audience laughing. Headliner Gary Southern was also very entertaining, even when spitting moths. High quality stuff.
It was nice to see MC Alan Wilkinson back in action after a long hiatus. Although he never did discover Robert's real name, he did manage to sting the comedians as well as the audience.
The Sziget Klub, while ideally located for summer events with a beautiful view, does mean that anyone in the stage lights has to battle thousands of mosquitos and and moths. For the stage lighting, perhaps colored lights would not be so attractive to the moths? Also beware of the unacceptable and unearned automatic 12% tip tacked on the bar bill.
