Last night I attended the One man comedy show Slim in Wonderland, and it was definitely a WONDERFUL experience ( excuse the cheesy comment lol).
When I arrived at the show I was optimistic as I was not sure whether I would be witnessing a comedic re-make of the classic Alice in Wonderland tale or not, but it was in a fact a variety show of different comedy sets from the likes of Miss Jocelyn, Kevin J and of course Slim.
The host for the night was the hilarious KAT B who definitely kept the show moving at the right pace and set the vibe for the night.
The show was opened by DEM II a brand new rap duo who was a bit hard to take in at first, as they seemed to have a little too much hype for quite an older crowd who came out to enjoy a relaxed Sunday night out for laughter.
But once the actual comedy started the laughs and fun was in full swing.
The second act of the Night was Miss Jocelyn who entertained us with a familiar (as shown on tv) Bus Driver sketch with her hilarious rendition of the hymn 'In the Name of JEEESSSSSUUUSSSS' lol.
On next was Kevin J, who as always was one of the few white guys in the WHOLE of Hackney Empire lol he spoke of his upbringing Nigeria.... not the one in Africa... the one in Peckham lol and also of his recent bookings and travels to Lagos, Nigeria.
I just want to let you all know that Kevin J has an amazing Nigerian accent!!!
The big man himself SLIM was the last act of the night and gave probably one of the best Entrances for a comedian at the Hackney Empire that I have ever seen. With his pimp stick in hand and two lovely booty shakers either side of him he was cheered to the stage.
He told stories of his life as a bus driver, and his recent operation on his.... *cough cough* private parts!!! OH GOOOSSSHHH!!! yes he broke his willy wonka!
The celebrity filled audience with guests such as Eddie Kadi, Jimmy Akingbola, Arnold ' Snakey Man' Oceng, Star of kidulthood, adulthood and soon to be released Anuvahood Adam Deacon and others of course myself all laughed the night away!!
I'm pretty sure my six pack is about to make a come-back as we definitely laughed all night long!
I give this event event a 5out of 5 rating!!! And I can't wait to see the next Slim show which I hear will be a 2 hour non-stop stand up SHOW!!!
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
This week I had the pleasure of meeting the stars of the soon to be a hit film 'Anuvahood'!
