Sunday Night @the Duff Acts Club
I have just had the displeasure of watching a recording of Sunday Night @ The Palladium,my first question is ,has it been moved?, as far as I know this theatre was always in London,My second question where was the Bingo or the Meat Draw? This had all the makings of a Working Mens Club night out. Then that poor couple celebrating their Wedding Anniversary, first the Host tells them that they were going of on some sort of Safari,only to be told it was only a joke,then a Special surprise they were to sit in the Royal Box,when out comes a ladder that was so side splittingly funny the lady started to climb the ladder,before once again being told that it was a Joke ,why did they not use the Trampoline
The host gushing with superlatives only to be followed by acts who should be embarrassed to collect their Pay Cheques.One of the acts were on Trampolines dreadful probably handy if the lift is broken ,Sarah Milligan appalling ,the problem with most comedians on Television ,they tend to use second rate material as they prefer to save the "Good Jokes"for their tours.The Pierces who's latest CD I have,well I am sure they were miming and as for Art Garfunkel apart from trying to re-work Sound Of Silence,he Should have mimed, His vocals were so bad I thought that This might have been a comedy act ,the song was so disjointed.Then if things were not bad enough they bring out Jimmy Tarbuck,I have no idea ,well actually I do have an idea why he was on,probably because Paul Gambaccini was busy signing his new contract for The BBC.
Whoever the Genius who thought to bring back this Iconic Sunday Night Show ,should be thrown in The Tower Of and be forced to watch and listen to this Dross until their ears bleed.
I have left out a few of the acts not because they were not so bad rather that after a while one feels that it is Pointless .
