Cloudland Blue Quartet – Ersatzreal
Bill Bruford & Michiel Borstlap – Every Step a Dance, Every Word a Song
Met with Anne this evening for our visit to Stewart Lee’s new show “41st Best Stand Up Ever”...
A quick drink first and then it’s into the Udderbelly – an upside-down-cow-shaped auditorium sponsored by TV Channel E4, which Mr Lee takes a well deserved swipe at (the TV channel not the cow) during his 80 minute routine...
His show is funnier (in our opinion but what do we know Stu, we’re just the public- ha ha!) than the last time we saw him and is loosely based around his assertion that his mum thinks Tom O’Connor is a better comedian than him, despite Stu having been voted (by the public, so it is official) 41st Best Stand Up Of All Time...
His impersonation of his mum (and other third parties in his stories) called to mind his former partner (of “Fist of Fun” and “This Morning With Richard not Judy” fame) Richard Herring – whom I will see on Monday night – hoorah!
Are you a sardine? - Recommended...
Back home by 9 and a quick listen to the latest disc to come in the post, a selection of live recordings by jazz duo Bruford-Borsttlap, before being sucked in by “Holby” and “The Friday Night Project”...
The latter featured dreadful music from one Amy MacDonald – this year’s Sandi Thom methinks – someone somewhere must have done something underhand to get someone with this little talent onto channel 4 on a Friday night...
Highlight of the Day : Stewart Lee of course...
