A GAGGLE of 'policewomen' witnessed Glaswegian comic Sandy Nelson steal the show at Jongleurs on Saturday night.
The Omni Centre club always proves a popular venue with stag and hen parties and this weekend was no exception, with compere Rudi Lick
wood warning brides and grooms-to-be of the trials and tribulations of marriage.
Matt Kirshen didn't get off to the best of starts as Lickwood couldn't remember his name, but the laughter he raised made sure no one forgot him in a hurry. The baby-faced Englishman hit the mark with stories of his mother's inability to grasp text language and arguing why tomato ketchup needn't be kept in the fridge.
The well-spoken youngster gave way to shaven-headed Mancunian Dom Corroll. The former undertaker started by stating: "If you're easily offended, strap yourselves in for a bumpy ride." The comic was true to his word, joking about everything from drugs to agoraphobic psychopaths.
The only Scotsman on the bill, Nelson, then took to the stage. Using a lot more physical comedy than the others, the vertically challenged comedian used a lofty member of the audience to demonstrate how women are attracted to height. Although there is traditionally a rivalry between Glasgow and Edinburgh, Nelson told the audience how he has grown more fond of the Capital since Irvine Welsh popularised its bad points in books such as Trainspotting.
He then finished his set with a hilarious song on his guitar about his drunk girlfriend.
