I want to take you to a Gay bar, Gay bar Gay bar....and watch Topping and Butch

Hello all,

These entries are coming thick and fast. Won't keep it up, this weeks had some exciting events and its looking a bit more lax over the next week or so. Still can tell you about Spanish tomorrow and French on Tuesday, classes begin then. Looking forward to getting back on the wagon.

Also I apologise if the latest blog entries you find here have spelling/grammatical errors, I have a tendency to make such things. I always re-read my stuff before making the next entry however so if you wish to check my old entries you will find that my work has been brought to an impeccable standard.
Go ahead, check, I'll wait.

But of course you're probably just too lazy and uninterested to re-check which is fine as you may now read the latest entry which involves the review of my favourite Gay comedy duo Topping and Butch.

Yes slightly more interesting this time no?

I went with my dad and his boyfriend to Central Station, a gay bar at Kings Cross which turned out to be so-so. Wasn't the nicest of atmospheres but then me being of the heterosexual persuasion it wasn't really geared for an audience such as myself. Most gay clubs I've been to however have slightly nicer vibes. Not that I regularly frequent the gay scene, just stuck my head in here and there. Moving swiftly on...

We waited for a good 2 hours for Topping and Butch to saunter it a few minutes late but in brilliant style, descending from the stairs, Butch in a priests costume, Topping in a nun's attire.

The number of Anti-Catholic jokes was funny in itself

These were quickly discarded to reveal their plastic spandex underwear and, in Toppings case, a lovely skirt. Those of you who don't feel that that picture will be as lovely in reality as it is in your minds may wish to quickly scroll over the following picture:

Well you can't see Toppings skirt but its probably for the best..

They proceeded to pull off quite a funny evening. This is despite:

1) At the very start a drunk who was annoyingly right next to me getting taken to the back for rubbish yelling

2) An extremely unfunny and over-zealous fan at the back giving rubbish banter

3) The two 50 year olds dressed in school uniforms at the front being on and off funny and throwing mood swings when not appreciated. (One of them owned the bar!)

Butch (on the right of the picture) is one of the wittiest men you will see for free on stage and took it all in his stride. The bar wasn't that full which annoyed me but it was a sizable crowd and they had us all laughing. I wish I could remember some of the funny one liners I tried furiously to etch into my mind. One was "It's nice to be here, as I told William Hague at his hotel that night..." and other included a rant about the costs of us hosting the pope and how its getting more expensive ending with "Ah well the Catholics always knew how to manipulate small figures..." Gah I should have recorded the rest. Funny stuff tho. 

Songs they sang included one about wanting to shag David Miliband, a song about Viagra and its benefits and my personal favourite, the I Hate You song where they describe in many many metaphors what their company is like to one another, each description more vile then the last. Awesome. 

They are definitely worth a watch. Didn't even mind that much coming home on two night buses and getting back at 2. Was a good night I recommend. 

I think the next big night after this might very well be the WOMBATS who I hopefully will buy a ticket with what little money I have this week. Their show is in late October, I look forward to it ever so. 

Hope you guys are all well and happy, chat to ya soon,

Finito!
