All profits go to Shelter<\/b><\/p>\n
Ho-Ho-Ho! What better way to acknowledge the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and mark the passing of another shitty year than with a royal rumble of a seasonal Fuck-Fest as we join “comedian” and People’s Princess Nick Helm in celebrating his 38th Christmas. Expect the decking of halls, the hanging of baubles, comedy guests, crackers (cheese and crepe), music, peace on earth, joy to all people and (some) jokes.<\/p>\n
The usual Seasonal rules apply\u2026 list of all the people that shouldn’t bother attending:
\n\u2022 People expecting slickness.
\n\u2022 People that think that just by being talked to at a comedy gig that they are somehow getting picked on.
\n\u2022 People in the audience that like to make it all about them.
\n\u2022 Office parties.
\n\u2022 Hecklers.
\n\u2022 People that get drunk and talk to their boyfriend\u2019s really loudly through the whole night, even raising their voices so they can be heard by their partner over the song that is being performed live maybe six feet right in front of them and then proceed to deny doing it when they are called out on it by literally every single act that gets up and performs that night.
\n\u2022 Rude people.
\n\u2022 People incapable of dealing with the concept of a stage persona and who take everything they see in life at face value.
\n\u2022 Fascists.
\n\u2022 Baz.
\n\u2022 Journalists that hide in the dark and say “Oh he’s just doing what he always does”.
\n\u2022 Large groups of actors.
\n\u2022 People that have only ever experienced stand up from TV shows such as Live at the Apollo or McIntyre’s Road Show. Come to another show at some other point, but really there won’t be time for you to catch up with what everyone else has been enjoying for year’s so just stay home for this one. You won’t understand why you haven’t heard of any of the acts or why they’re not always talking about things that you can directly relate to so it will be less embarrassing for you if you stay away and hide your ignorance.
\n\u2022 Cats.
\n\u2022 People that aren’t expecting a Fuck-Fest.
\n\u2022 People with unrealistic preconceptions of what a comedy show can provide for them.
\n\u2022 People expecting a reenactment of all their favourite moments from BBC Three’s Uncle. Nick is a multi-award-winning stand-up comedian and not the same person as the fictional person he plays in the hit series Uncle. He is just an excellent actor and maybe his diversity and range should be celebrated rather than met with confused disapproval.
\n\u2022 Likewise for people that are coming because of 8 Out of 10 Cats\/8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. This is not a panel show\/beloved word\/number-based game show. It will be different from that.
\n\u2022 Nick IS however, prepared to listen to your food recommendations.
\n\u2022 If you absolutely have to get blind drunk then under no circumstances try to engage with Nick whilst he is cleaning up all the shit off the stage at the end in a conversation about what real comedy is and what a disappointment the show you just saw was. If you can’t stand up straight or see clearly anymore, your opinion is not valid.
\n\u2022 Bellends in general.
\n\u2022 Everyone else is welcome.<\/p>\n
I guess lower your expectations, pull your head out of your arse and stop taking yourself and your fucking opinions so seriously. Joy to the World and Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n
