Montreal night, part II - Categories: News - Stephen Grant @ 12:49:05 pm

Oh for fuck's sake.

Did I say I had a sense of foreboding? Hmmm? Well, guess what, I'm on last - out of 12 acts! Sigh. What's wrong with nestling nicely in the middle? The running order was picked at random by the Store acts on Friday night. Here it is.

Ben Hurley
Shappi Khorsandi
Miles Jupp
Micheal McIntyre
Interval
Paul Sinha
Tommy Campbell
Jon Richardson
Ray Peacock

Rob Rouse
Mark Olver

So, if you're still there at midnight, see you then. I also noticed that I forgot to mention a few extra people who weren't listed on the Chortle listings; so they are...

Rob Rouse
Who is probably the most 'famous' person on the list, what with his telly work and so forth. I've not seen him live for a few years though so I'm not sure what he'll do, but last time I saw him he was gloriously silly and so full of energy he made me look deadpan by comparison.

Miles Jupp
I'm a good friend of Miles and I love his act. Actually, if the JFL people were looking for someone who can pull off that quintessential 'Britishness' that the rest of the world adores, it's him. He might be the dark horse for the night.

Ben Hurley
He's first on - which can be a tough slot to fill - but Ben's a natural raconteur and I can't see him having any problems getting some strong laughs from the night. He's one of those people who's as naturally funny off stage as he is on it, and I hope that comes across.

Sarah Kendall is ill unfortunately, which is a pity. Oh well - onwards and upwards. I'd better start thinking what stuff I'm going to do. I hope people don't massively overrun or I'll be there well into Tuesday. Literally - my last train home is around midnight.
